Key Features

Feature-vector driven full-chip ML platform

Calibre SONR, a feature-vector driven machine-learning platform, enables a broad range fab solutions and customizable, scalable and integrated design and fab interaction analytics such as care area generation, layout clustering and comparison. It is compatible with the full Calibre eco-system.

High performance and accuracy

Unique pattern clustering technology

Calibre SONR offers a unique clustering method for unsupervised or semi-supervised machine-learning models. Compared to the open source or other commercial clustering or grouping methods, Calibre SONR shows significant performance benefits for the full chip data level (billions) and maintains high accuracy.
