What type of DRCs are related to advanced nodes (e.g., 3nm)?

o   Multi-Patterning Rules: Assigning diff masks to shapes based on adjacent mask, if it is odd cycle violation, loop violation.

o   Via Rules:

o    Via Stacking & Alignment: Very tight rules on stacking multiple vias and their alignment to metal layers above and below.

o    Via Enclosure by Metal: Stricter metal enclosure around vias.

o   Interconnect Rules:

o   Minimum Metal Pitch: Extremely tight metal width and spacing rules.

o   End-of-Line (EOL) Spacing: Specific, often larger, spacing required at the ends of metal lines.

o   Complex Conditional Spacing: Spacing rules that change based on parallel run length, adjacent feature types, or layer.
