Dec 18, 2006 InShape(TM) predicts accurate silicon shapes, enabling designers to perform DFM hotspot detection of catastrophic failures. This model-based Design Manufacturability Checker utilizes nonlinear optical transformation algorithm to detect potential manufacturing failures during physical design. Compact models encapsulate all necessary RET, OPC, mask, etch, and lithography effects on both device and interconnect, predicting accurate contours for entire chip from drawn layout within hours.

Electrical DFM Solution aids chip analysis and optimization.

Dec 12, 2006 Offered as complete and silicon correlated solution, OutPerform(TM) lets designers using sub-90 nm processes optimize and control impact of lithography, mask, etch, RET, OPC, and CMP effects on their chip parameters. It plugs directly into existing flows for cell design, IP, custom analog, and cell-based digital design. After identifying timing and leakage parametric hotspots for violations, solution produces timing optimization directives that drive place and route tools.
