Layout Versus Schematic (LVS) checking compares the extracted netlist from the layout to the original schematic netlist to determine if they match. The comparison check is considered clean if all the devices and nets of the schematic match the devices and the nets of the layout. Optionally, the device properties can also be compared to determine if they match within a certain tolerance. When properties are compared, all the properties must match as well to achieve a clean comparison.
