A method for analyzing design of an integrated circuit. Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre
A method for analyzing design of an integrated circuit comprises: receiving (100) a design layout for an integrated circuit; forming a plurality of images of portions of the design layout, and for each image of a portion of the design layout: calculating (104) a Fourier transform representation of the image; and extracting (106) values of pre-defined parameters from the Fourier transform representation; comparing (108) the extracted parameter values of the plurality of images to create a clustering model by unsupervised machine learning and to sort each image of a portion of the design layout ...
