Quantus Extraction Solution – RLCK Extraction You Trust

For classroom delivery, this course is taught as a half-day session (4 hours).

This is a lecture-only class.

The course is designed to offer user-level experience on the next generation parasitic extraction solution from the Cadence^®–Quantus^™ Extraction Solution. You start with exploring the advanced node design solutions in Quantus. You will analyze extraction challenges in FinFETs, 3D-IC and Double/Multiple Patterning (DPT/MPT) designs and respective Quantus Extraction Solutions. You will also check the pros and cons of colored and colorless extraction flows with pessimism reduction. You will then perform Quantus-based 7nm DPT Modeling, Shift Corners flows and explore 3D-IC Designs with TSV and Micro-Bumps. Finally, you will review the Transistor-Level EMIR Analysis flow with Voltus^™-Fi Custom Power Integrity Solution and its advanced features. The Quantus Extraction Solution is integrated to the Virtuoso^® environment for easy access.
