Abstract

A method for creating a derivative semiconductor design layout is disclosed. The method generally comprises the steps of (A) receiving a plurality of changes from a user for a first layout of a semiconductor design having a plurality of first layers, (B) storing the changes in a plurality of second layers and (C) displaying the derivative semiconductor design layout to the user in response to logically operating on the first layers and the second layers.
