The Calibre DesignEnhancer software, which Siemens EDA unveiled at the Design Automation Conference (DAC) in July 2023, has been incorporated into a process design kit (PDK) of Samsung Foundry. The ...

In the realm of high-performance IC (integrated circuit) design, symmetry is not just an aesthetic preference—it’s a critical factor for ensuring proper device functionality, especially in analog and ...

Xinyx IC Design B.V. is a 100% Filipino owned IC Design house and has been in operations since 2009, with more than a decade of experience in the field of integrated circuit design, giving its clients ...

In the analog/mixed-signal (AMS) arena, automated design of advanced ICs has long remained an objective rather than a reality. For the AMS design expert, automated tools have too often seemed to ...

Manufacturing-aware system design treats dies, interposers, packages, and analysis as a single, coherent system.

As the complexity of IC designs continues to grow, moving critical checks earlier in the design cycle helps designers identify and resolve issues before they escalate, streamlining the overall ...

The strengths of Taiwan's IC design sector include excellent and dedicated STEM talent, a complete semiconductor industry ecosystem from upstream to downstream, and a well-developed downstream ICT ...

Layout for ICs at process geometries of 90 nm and below becomes a very dicey affair. Even at 180 nm, the number of design rules that must be enforced for an ASIC or system-on-a-chip to be ...

For circuit simulation, we have always been enthralled with the Falstad simulator which is a simple, Spice-like simulator that runs in the browser. [Brandon] has a simulator, too, but it simulates ...
