PDK

  • What OpenPDK Is And Why It’s Important
    Since process development kits (PDKs) are necessary for all IC design, a major change in the way foundry PDKs are provided is significant news. Such change may be forthcoming from the Silicon Integration Initiative (Si2) OpenPDK Coalition , which announced 10 founding members, including Cadence, May...

  • Bringing MEMS Design To The Mainstream
    Micro-electrical mechanical systems ( MEMS ) have been around for years, and have found their way into high-volume applications such as automobile air bag controllers, GPS systems, and inkjet print heads. But MEMS devices such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, RF switches and pressure sensors are not as...

  • Q&A: A Cadence View Of ‘Interoperable’ PCells
    If you’re involved in analog or custom IC design, you’ve no doubt read about “interoperable” parameterized layout cells (PCells) and process design kits (PDKs). What you probably haven’t heard is a Cadence viewpoint about these developments. The following Q&A interview...

  • ADE L | post-layout simulation | input.scs error | missing model
    Hi, after successful RLC extraction I got a av_extracted view, which I set in ADE Setup->Environment... in the Switch View List in order to perform post-layout simulation. The netlist is created without any error. However, when I start to run a transient simulation I get te following error: <<...

  • User Interview: An Under The Hood Look At PDKs
    Well-made process design kits (PDKs) are critical for successful IC design, and design teams should keep in touch with PDK technology development, according to Kristin Liu, principal CAD engineer at National Semiconductor . In an interview at the recent CDNLive! Silicon Valley , she talked about the...

  • DRC problems with IBM PDK
    Hello, I have access to the IBM PDKs for both 65nm (cmos10lpe) and 45nm (soi120S). I wanted to test the PDK and the DRC tool so I made a layout containing just one nmos and ran DRC on it. To my surprise, I got DRC errors for the IBM PDK nmos cell using the IBM PDK DRC runset. Shouldn't the cell provided...

  • ARM libraries, IBM PDK, Cadence PVS questions...
    Hi all, I have several questions regarding ARM libraries, IBM PDK, and Cadence PVS. Sorry if I posted in the wrong place ARM Libraries 1. Has anyone used it before? Does it have layout view for Cadence Virtuoso tool IBK PDK 1. After I installed it, I got the following warning message in Virtuoso CIW...

  • OpenAccess, Its Just a Database…
    I suspect that in another year we’ll all stop talking about OpenAccess (OA) like it is something special and treat it the way it should be, that it is just another database. Having said that, I know I’m going to get plenty of email about my portrayal of OA from colleagues and others but that...

  • What’s all the Hoopla with PDKs?
    At a purely technical level, Process Design Kits are fairly innocuous. They are used to enable custom IC design flows. A Process Design Kit (PDK) includes device models, schematic symbols, netlisting procedures and parameterizable cell layout generators. Physical verification rule decks and a parasitic...

  • Lack of design-chain collaboration prevents SiP to go mainstream
    A few years back, I was considering that the lack of an integrated design solution (tool flow) was the reason that SiP design was an "expert engineering" process -- and why it was not adopted more widely despite its benefits over SoC integration for a broad range of applications and markets...
