Abstract

A method for verifying library components and designs on a via customizable ASIC, which may include the process of adding capacitors to model possible via sites of a model of an un-customized portion of or a whole ASIC, and replacing the capacitors with resistors to model where custom vias have been placed on the ASIC to implement a desired component or design. Views of this model may then be generated to verify the functionality of the component or design, and component models for timing, function and via customization may then be generated for the component library.
