| 1. A method for generating a primary document for a device in a semiconductor manufacturing environment, wherein the primary
document is used to characterize the device, and wherein the primary document is generated using a computer associated with
the semiconductor manufacturing environment, the method comprising:
creating a design rule that defines a relationship between first and second technologies;
creating a primary document template for a device in the first technology;
creating at least one input file to associate information from a plurality of secondary documents with the primary document
template;
generating the primary document by retrieving information from the secondary documents and inserting the retrieved information
into the primary document template based on the input file; and
applying the design rule to identify a corresponding device in the second technology.
