Abstract

This paper focuses on the data structures and algorithms used in an integrated electron-beam probing system for IC diagnosis. The goal is to create an effective debugging environment through access to various types of design information. Dedicated databases permit separate schematics and layouts to be cross referenced on line. Special algorithms deliver fast, interactive performance by capitalizing on design hierarchies.
