Not only has the number of design rule checks gone up, but check types and operations have grown drastically, fueling the need for more and faster computation while still maintaining accuracy and precision.
Dense and hierarchical layouts, increasing circuit complexity, and intricate foundry rules mean running and debugging LVS and parasitics to ensure circuit predictability can be a time-consuming and resource-intensive endeavor.
Increasing design complexity and a heightened focus on reliability at all levels of chip design, from IP to full-chip, makes accurate and full verification of IC reliability issues essential, but challenging.
DFM optimization helps designers balance power, performance and area against manufacturability, but consistent application of multiple optimization strategies is often a difficult and demanding task.
Designers must manage and navigate between multiple design and verification tools throughout the design flow. Manual invocations, custom interface code, and a lack of consistent presentation reduces productivity and uniformity.
We deliver the most accurate, most trusted, and best-performing IC sign-off verification and DFM optimization in the EDA industry.
