Patent
Design for manufacturability
TL;DR: In this article, techniques for modifying an existing micro-device design to improve its manufacturability are disclosed for modifying a microdevice design based on manufacturing criteria from the foundry.
Patent
Secure exchange of information in electronic design automation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe methods and systems for secure exchange of information related to electronic design automation (e.g., rule files related to integrated circuit manufacturability) using encryption, obfuscation, and other security measures.
Patent
In-line XOR checking of master cells during integrated circuit design rule checking
TL;DR: In this paper, the layout vs. layout comparison of the design cell with the master cell is used to determine if the layout of the cells and the corresponding master cells match one another.

TL;DR: This paper describes design methodologies developed for silicon photonics integrated circuits inspired by methods employed in the Electronics Design Automation community and complemented by well established photonic component design tools, compact model synthesis, and optical circuit modelling.
Patent
Defect location identification for microdevice manufacturing and test
TL;DR: In this paper, a defect identification tool is disclosed that predicts locations at which defects in a microdevice are most likely to occur (Fig. 6, n601) and test data custom-tailored to check for faults corresponding to the identified defect in specified portions of the microcircuit.
