The former is DRC, and the latter is LVS. * Digital Layout * 物理验证 Physical Verification Physical verification, as its name suggest, focuses on the physical aspects of the design. This verification process has nothing to do with the timing or logic aspects of the design. Performance verification is the process of checking the logic and timing aspects by back-simulation with the netlist with reverse-labeled parasitic parameters after extraction. * Digital Layout * Performance Verification The logic aspects of the design are verified by simulatio
