The report confirming that the layout is correct and manufacturable: design rule checks, layout versus schematic, electrical rule checks and any waivers.
Report Work product in the Memory product lifecycle (DRAM, NAND and HBM) and the Silicon photonics and optical interconnect lifecycle
Layout errors in a memory array or photonic circuit repeat across the die and can make the whole wafer fail. Physical verification proves the layout matches the circuit and follows every rule before masks are ordered. Without the report, errors reach masks and silicon and fixing them needs a new mask set.
