The "resistance path" shown in Fig. 16 is shown. Figure 16 illustrates the first level of the content of the collapsible tree structure for the "resistance path" as shown in Figure 15. More specifically, Figure 16 illustrates the user clicking or moving the user interface cursor on a particular path 16〇2 on a particular path 16〇2. In response to the user's manipulation of the entity design, the system highlights (in this example, red) the path 1602 in the dialog box, the eye-catching prompt (in this example, white) the path in the entity design display section, and displays A path having a plurality of resistor symbols 16〇4 along the path at a location indicative of the trappable resistance.

Figure 19 illustrates the in-situ, immediate constraint verification or compliance check results display capabilities of the user interface in some embodiments. More specifically, the viewer display portion shows one or more collapsible tree structures for electromigration analysis results, one of which indicates that there are five violations and uses red 157728.doc •45· 201229797 Eye-catching tips.

More specifically, Figure 2G shows the first level of the content of the foldable tree structure indicating five violations on the left side of the user interface. As can be seen in the example illustrated in Figure 2, each of the five violations is associated with a brief description of the violation. In this example, all five resistors are indicated as violations because the percentage of maximum current exceeds 100% of the maximum allowable current in each resistor. It should be noted that each of the first level items in the stacked tree structure can be further expanded as previously discussed to display the step information for interactive purposes. Figure 20 further shows that the resistors through which the respective maximum current exceeds 100% of the maximum allowable current are shown in red; the respective maximum currents are, for example, between 9〇% and 1% of the maximum allowable current. The resistors are displayed in the color of the lamp; and the resistors whose respective maximum currents are 50% or less of the maximum allowable current are shown in blue. It should be noted that the heat map displays of the various resistors carrying different maximum currents are not necessarily displayed in this color configuration, and the above heat map is used as an example to explain and illustrate the user interface capabilities. In addition, Figure 2G further shows a dialog box that provides the user with the ability to change the physical data of a particular component. In this example, the dialog box, the σ user presents an option to type a different width value 2004 for a particular resistor. The user can type in different width values and the system will automatically determine whether the value of the t-key is in compliance with the electromigration constraint. In some embodiments, the system may also provide a prompt, suggestion, or recommendation to the user in a similar manner so that the user can know how to correct the violation.
