As IC design teams adopt advanced process nodes, they are packing more functionality and performance into silicon. However, design challenges are growing as designers push the limits of performance, complexity, size, power reduction, and manufacturing scaling. Starting at 45/40 nm, the increasing complexity of DRC and DFM rules began to stress traditional physical design flows. This trend is expected to continue and worsen at the 32/22-nm nodes, where manufacturing closure may become a serious bottleneck in design schedules. Designers need a new generation of physical design tools to … Read More → "DRC/DFM Signoff During Physical Design Provides Faster Time to Closure"
