Abstract

A method for a connectivity check for an integrated circuit performed by a computing device, according to one embodiment, may comprise: a metal vector information extraction step for extracting metal vector information about metals on a layout; a merged metal vector information generation step for generating a merged metal by merging the metals according to a preset method on the basis of the metal vector information, and then generating merged metal vector information about the merged metal; and a connectivity check graph generation step for generating a connectivity check graph on the basis of via information and the merged metal information.
