  • DAC DFM Coalition - Do You Work On Sunday Afternoons?

    It was a sunny, Sunday afternoon in Anaheim (across from Disneyland). That combination of weather and entertainment didn't sway a group of 35 engineers from participating in the DFMC (Design for Manufacturability Coalition) Workshop at DAC 2010. On the panel were: Luigi Capodieci - GLOBALFOUNDRIES...

  • What you didn’t know about DFM for advanced node designs: “In-route” is insufficient

    Recently, there has been a lot of buzz about addressing DFM issues during routing. This is not a surprise as the economics of increased development cost of advanced process nodes and manufacturing has influenced dramatic changes to business models of several semiconductor companies. Due to the increasing...

  • Tidbits From TSMC Q209 Earnings Call - 40nm Yield

    Earning calls sure are interesting! Below is an excerpt from the TSMC Q209 call (transcript from seekingalpha). The discussion revolves around the 40nm yield issues and TSMC's ramp to improving the yield. Dr. Liu really hits on a key element of DFM - which is design/layout dependency. Simply put...

  • Cadence: Committed to DFM

    On June 10, Cadence issued a press release that mentioned “…decreasing the level of investment in the manufacturing side of DFM” as part of restructuring activities. Since that announcement, some in the press and analyst community have published their interpretations of the actions...

  • 'Back to School' in April? Are you Kidding?

    No, I am not kidding. in fact, we have planned several 'back to school' seminars throughout the nation to tell you all about the latest technology in digital implementation. If you are a current customer using SoC Encounter, then you would want to check this out. If you recently adopted the new...

  • Assura On Steroids

    In a recent post , I hinted at a significant performance improvement in Assura . Our R&D team focused on performance improvements in the 3.2 release, which was shipped last August. Based on our suite of performance benchmarks, we achieved an overall 10x performance boost. This comes from two fundamental...

  • ERC in Assura II

    In my last post I talked about the layout, schematic and netlist ERC capabilities of Assura. "But", I hear you ask, "is it programmable?" One of the characteristics that makes Assura such a natural fit within the Virtuoso custom design platform is that it shares the platform's...

  • The Buzz Around New Business Models

    The buzz about showing and paying for value in EDA has been building over the past few years. People have complained about the high cost of tools and EDA vendors have complained about not getting enough value from the technology that can then be re-invested in the next generation tools. The same complaints...

  • ERC in Assura

    A few customers have recently asked whether we can provide schematic-based ERC checks. This is no doubt spurred by a recent product announcement by one of our competitors. No - I'm not going to say who, and I'm not going to provide a link to their product page. We have had layout-based ERC checks...

  • Big Bang

    When something big and expensive fails, we usually hear about it in the headlines. Recent examples include the launch failure of the Orbiting Carbon Observatory and the setback at CERN , apparently caused by a dry solder joint, that resulted in a 12-month delay in their search for the Higgs particle...
