Research direction

Start by checking the native KLayout LVS commands and the custom_reader entry point mentioned in the issue to determine whether they support ignoring parasitic capacitors and shorting parasitic resistors. The issue does not settle whether this should be built in or handled by a custom reader, so clarify that scope first; done would mean the chosen behavior is implemented and its handling of both device types is verified.

Description

question

@klayoutmatthias Is there a way to ignore devices during LVS?

For example, if the source netlist contains parasitic devices, is there a way to ignore the parasitic capacitors and short the parasitic resistors?

I couldn't find a native klayout lvs command to do this, but is a custom_reader modification possible?
