Calibre is a well-known EDA tool from Siemens that is used for physical verification, but I didn’t really know how AI technology was being used, so I attended a Tuesday session at #62DAC to get up to speed. Priyank Jain, Calibre Product Management presented slides and finished up with a Q&A session.

The demand for higher performance, greater configurability, and more cost-effective solutions is pushing the industry toward heterogeneous integration and 3D integrated circuits (3D ICs). These solutions are no longer reserved for niche applications—they are rapidly becoming essential to mainstream semiconductor design.… Read More

Jay Vleeschhouwer, Managing Director of Software Research at Griffin Securities, is a noted financial analyst who does a yearly presentation on the State of EDA during the Design Automation Conference (DAC). This year was no exception. He and I spent a memorable afternoon discussing the Synopsys-Ansys merger and startups. … Read More
3D IC was a very popular topic at DAC. The era of heterogeneous, multi-chip design is here. There were a lot of research results and practical examples presented. What stood out for me was a panel at the end of day two of DAC that was hosted by Siemens. This panel brought together an impressive group of experts to weigh in on what was really… Read More
With advanced semiconductor processes continuing to shrink, the number and complexity of parasitic elements in designs grows exponentially contributing to one of the most significant bottlenecks in the design flow. Undetected parasitic-induced issues can be extremely costly, often resulting in tape-out delays.

Given my SpyGlass background I always keep an eye out for new ideas that might be emerging in static and formal verification. Whatever can be covered through stimulus-free analysis reduces time that needn’t be wasted in dynamic analysis, also adding certainty to coverage across that range. Still, advances don’t come easily. … Read More
In Silvaco’s July 2025 video presentation at the 62nd Design Automation Conference (DAC), Senior Staff Applications Engineer Tim Colton introduced Jivaro, a specialized parasitic reduction tool designed to tackle the escalating challenges of post-layout simulation in advanced IC designs. As semiconductor nodes… Read More
