FAQPage Schema
How do I automate GDSII export and DRC checks for KLayout signoff?▼

Automate KLayout signoff by triggering batch GDSII export, GDS layer DRC checks, and post-export verification to generate artifacts, logs, and a JSON result with violation counts per run.

What is KLayout batch mode used for in physical design signoff?▼

KLayout batch mode is used for end-to-end GDSII export, GDS level DRC checks, and final signoff readiness verification for routed physical design workstreams.

Does KLayout DRC validation work with ASAP7 technology?▼

Yes, this KLayout DRC validation supports ASAP7 technology references, applying tech files and runsets to execute GDS layer checks for routed physical design signoff.

How do I trace DRC violations and verify signoff readiness after GDS export?▼

Trace DRC violations and verify signoff readiness by reviewing the generated JSON result per run, which outputs violation counts, gds_size_bytes, verify_ok, valid, and error statuses.

What inputs do I need to run KLayout GDSII export and DRC checks?▼

Run KLayout GDSII export and DRC checks by providing input_def, tech_file, action, design_name, top_module, runset, and stamp parameters to configure the pipeline.

Why does my KLayout signoff pipeline fail to generate valid GDSII artifacts?▼

KLayout signoff pipelines may fail due to missing tech_file or runset parameters; check the error and valid fields in the output JSON result and review the generated log_path for details.
