Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You are tasked with designing a routing for a complex ASIC layout. Describe the potential impact of a DRC violation that goes unnoticed during layout checks. Provide a detailed analysis of how it might affect the final product.

💡 Hint: Think about the design consequences that arise from ignoring rules.

Challenge 2 Hard

Propose a strategy for efficiently managing routing during a complex design phase. Consider multi-layer routing and DRC checks in your response.

💡 Hint: Focus on optimizing both time and space in design layouts.
