Traditional DRC vs. FluxCore
Traditional DRC Tools
- Run DRC after design completion
- Hours to process large layouts
- Manual foundry rule setup
- Only shows violations, no fixes
- Separate from design environment
- 60% typical first-pass success
FluxCore DRC
- Real-time validation as you design
- Sub-second feedback for any layout
- Pre-configured foundry rule decks
- AI suggests fixes automatically
- Integrated into Design Studio
- 95% first-pass success rate
Works Within Your Design Flow
DRC runs continuously in the background. Export clean, verified GDS files.

One Avoided Respin Pays for Years of FluxCore
A single photonic chip respin costs $200K-$500K and delays your schedule by 3-6 months. FluxCore's 95% first-pass success rate means you ship on time, every time.
