What is a DRC Testing?

A DRC (Design Rule Checking) Testing job involves verifying semiconductor chip layouts to ensure they meet manufacturing and design requirements. Engineers use specialized EDA (Electronic Design Automation) tools to detect and fix rule violations related to spacing, width, and other constraints. This role is essential in the chip design flow to prevent fabrication errors and optimize performance. DRC testers work closely with design and verification teams to improve layout quality and ensure compliance with industry standards.
