System and method for generating high-quality libraries

A method of creating a library, the method comprising:

• testing a library component;
• recording results of said testing in a data file associated with said library component;
• verifying that said data file is complete and free of error indications, and
• incorporating said library component into said library if said verification is successful, and otherwise rejecting said library component from said library.

A system for creating a cell library, the system comprising:

• an input device configured to receive inputs from a user;
• a database configured to store cell design data and metadata associated with said cell design data;
• and
• a digital storage medium containing computer-executable instructions stored thereon, wherein said instructions are configured to receive said inputs from said input device, to store said inputs in said metadata, and to integrate said cell design data as a function of said metadata to create said cell library.

A method of creating a library, the method comprising:

• testing a library component to obtain test results;
• recording said test results in a data file associated with said library component;
• verifying that said data file is valid, and
• incorporating said library component into said library if said data file is valid, and otherwise rejecting said library component from said library.

A method of creating a cell library, the method comprising:

• testing a cell to obtain test results;
• recording said test results in a metadata file associated with said cell;
• checking said metadata file to validate said cell;
• and
• incorporating said cell into said library if said checking step determines that said metadata file is valid, and otherwise rejecting said cell from said library.
