Abstract
Methods and systems for integrating both models and rules into a verification flow to address both of these issues. Models are employed to perform simulations to provide more accurate verification results. In addition, the lithography simulation results can be used to fine-tune the rules themselves to provide a more realistic check upon circuit designs.
