ICMask PG Pcells Webinar 2

Power and Ground design can be problematic to implement, especially in lower metals. Layout can end up being very crowded and result in a compromise between routing and power structure. Power grid can be time and labor intensive for implementation largely due to the fact that often signal routing is done first and Power Grid is added… Read More

Axel Kloth13181

A physicist by training, Axel is used to the need for large-scale compute. He discovered over 30 years ago that scalability of processor performance was paramount for solving any computational problem. That necessitated a new paradigm in computer architecture. At Parimics, SSRLabs and Axiado he was able to show that new thinking… Read More
