Can we find short between two nets in layout?

Sarvani

hi all,

        I made a short between VSS, VDD in top level. I need probe at that exact point where VSS and VDD are shorted. Is there any ideas?

  • The trouble is that it's very hard for any tool to know where the tracks were intended to go, and to identify precisely where the short is - how do you know the intent of the user?

    You didn't say which short locator was being used (because you didn't say which physical verification tool was being used), but they generally work by you "labelling" certain points on the net as being certain, to gradually narrow down the region of the short.

    Layout XL also will detect shorts and put markers where it thinks they are.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
