4.1. All new designs or revised die designs with all metal mask changes must meet the criteria outlined in these Design Rules. If the design was done earlier than the date of the latest revision of this specification and has a history of reliable performance, a redesign can be done without complete conformance to the stress design rules. Reliability engineering will act as the arbiter on these matters. For all other redesigns, run a DRC on the existing design to verify compliance to the current design rules. The intention is to correct all violations during the redesign.
