DRC typically refers to Design Rule Checking. It is a crucial step in the integrated circuit (IC) design and manufacturing process. DRC involves verifying that the layout of an IC design adheres to a set of rules (design rules) specified by the foundry where the chip will be manufactured. These rules ensure manufacturability and reliability by preventing issues like short circuits, open circuits, and other manufacturing defects. DRC tools automatically check the layout against these rules and flag any violations, which designers then need to correct before the design can proceed to fabrication.
