Checking and Fixing Antenna Effects in IC Layouts

Checking and Fixing Antenna Effects in IC Layouts
by Daniel Payne on 03-14-2024 at 10:00 am

Planar CMOS cross-section – antenna DRC

IC layouts go through extensive design rule checking to ensure correctness, before being accepted for fabrication at a foundry or IDM. There’s something called the antenna effect that happens during chip manufacturing where plasma-induced damage (PID) can lower the reliability of MOSFET devices. Layout designers run Design… Read More


Siemens Promotes Digital Threads for Electronic Systems Design

Siemens Promotes Digital Threads for Electronic Systems Design

Digital threads min

Many years ago, I remember discussions around islands of automation/silos. Within the scope of any given silo there is plenty of automation to handle tasks relevant to that phase. But managing the full lifecycle from concept through manufacturing to field support must cross between silos, and those transitions are not as clean… Read More

Calibre Shift Left Solutions Enable Reducing TTM

In today’s rapidly evolving semiconductor industry, the design and integration of intellectual property (IP) play a pivotal role in achieving competitive advantage and market success. Whether sourced from commercial IP providers or developed in-house, ensuring that IP designs are compliant with signoff requirements… Read More


Soft checks are needed during Electrical Rule Checking of IC layouts

Soft checks are needed during Electrical Rule Checking of IC layouts
by Daniel Payne on 02-28-2024 at 10:00 am

Metal1 Via Metal2 s

IC designs have physical verification applications like Layout Versus Schematic (LVS) at the transistor-level to ensure that layout and schematics are equivalent, in addition there’s an Electrical Rules Check (ERC) for connections to well regions called a soft check. The  connections to all the devices needs to have the most… Read More

Veloce Strato CS min

General purpose CPUs have run most EDA tools quite well for many years now, but if you really want to accelerate something like simulation then you start to look at using specializedhardware accelerators. . Emulators came onto the scene around 1986 and the processing power has greatly increased over the years, mostly in response… Read More

Figure 1 min

Can you name the EDA vendor that first used AI starting 15 years ago for circuit designers using SPICE simulators? I can remember that vendor, it was Solido, now part of Siemens EDA, and I just read their 8 page paper on how they look at the various levels of AI being used in EDA to help IC designers work smarter and faster than using manual… Read More
