As electrical systems grow more complex and regulatory requirements continue to tighten, traditional peer reviews alone are no longer sufficient to ensure design quality and compliance. In this ...
IC designers are a lucky bunch. Through many years of semiconductor process evolution, the impact of manufacturing limitations and variations on layout could be encapsulated in relatively simple ...
With the increasing complexity of design layouts and shorter tapeout cycles, waiting until signoff verification is no longer practical for design teams. There is a constant push to shift targeted ...
As integrated circuit (IC) designs have grown in complexity, scale and speed requirements, design rule checking (DRC) has evolved from a routine step into a critical pillar of successful tapeouts.
The complexity of DRC rules increases with shrinking geometries. It is not that the laws of physics change with shrinking IC feature size; they are just more strictly enforced. At one time, there was ...
As manufacturing processes transition to more advanced technologies at 90nm and below, design signoff requirements become increasingly more rigorous and time-consuming. With each step to more advanced ...
