| Design implementation in a new technology takes significant time/effort |
 |
Automatic migration with SiClone accelerates schedule by more than 2x and cuts effort by 10x. |
 |
| Too many new variables -> high risk |
|
To reduce the risk – the first products should reuse as much as possible from existing and proven designs |
|
| Manage capacity and cost by using multiple fabrication sources |
|
Using a migration strategy, design can be simultaneously implemented in multiple target foundries/fab-lines |
|
| Availability of libraries and silicon IP collateral in the target technology |
|
Migrating the entire IP infrastructure can be done well ahead of time |
|
| Coping with technology/process changes and uncertainty |
|
Design can start well before all rules are stable & final - SiFix automatically accommodates last-minute design-rule changes |
 |
Complex process design rules?
Recommended rules? |
|
SiFix Automatically fixes all DRC violations and optimally implements recommended rules with no area penalty |
|
Long TAT for first mask-set?
Litho hot-spots? OPC iterations?
Silicon re-spins? |
|
DFM-Fix optimizes the design and eliminates hot-spots |
