Pantheon’s advanced layout design system has always offered full artwork and manufacturing checks in its core application, which include detailed Electrical Rule Checks (ERCs) and Manufacturing Rule Checks (MRCs) that are performed even after the layout passes standard Design Rule Checks (DRCs). Through a process called double verification, Pantheon first generates a net list from the artwork and runs a one-for-one comparison to the layout. The resulting report includes net mismatches, shorts, opens, extra or missing pins, and extra vias.

The second pass of artwork checks is the Manufacturing Rule Checks (MRCs). These are a set of customizable rules that check clearance, coverage, and power/wire violations from the manufacturing standpoint. Pantheon's manufacturing verification contains a complete matrix of object clearance checks, including verification of annular rings, antipads, and soldermask coverage. With a triple-pass set of rules checking, Pantheon offers the highest level of design integrity checks in the industry.
