Precheck

Before a design is made, the wafer.space platform checks it against the foundry's design rules. TRID was accepted on this check.

All 15 steps passed, with 0 KLayout DRC errors, on 2026-01-03.

Filessteps · log (gzip)

The steps of the gf180mcu-precheck LibreLane flow, as run by platform.wafer.space. The design was accepted on the newest finished check before it was submitted; later re-runs check the same file with updated rules. KLayout DRC is the sign-off check. Magic DRC is advisory: its count does not stop a design. In the logs, Magic's "Error while reading cell" lines about fill cells are messages from its reader, not check failures.
