As integrated circuit (IC) designs have grown in complexity, scale and speed requirements, design rule checking (DRC) has evolved from a routine step into a critical pillar of successful tapeouts.
Mentor Graphics has developed an interactive version of its Calibre design-rule checking (DRC) software to address analogue and memory designs, using more precise rules to identify common design ...
Version 10 of L-Edit Pro lets mixed-signal IC, MEMS, and integrated-optical-device designers increase design verification speed and analyze all-angle geometry prior to fabrication. The layout and ...
