Mentor Teaches Us About the Higg’s Boson

Mentor Teaches Us About the Higg’s Boson
by Paul McLellan on 09-17-2013 at 4:46 pm
Categories: EDA, Siemens EDA

Once a year Mentor has a customer appreciation event in Silicon Valley with a guest speaker on some aspect of science. This is silicon valley, after all, so we all have to be geeks. This year it was Dr Sean Carroll from CalTech on The Particle at the End of the Universe, the Hunt for The Higg’s Boson and What’s Next.

Real Time Concurrent Layout Editing – It’s Possible

Real Time Concurrent Layout Editing – It’s Possible
by Pawan Fangaria on 09-03-2013 at 2:00 pm
Categories: EDA, Siemens EDA

Layout editing is a complex task, traditionally done manually by designers, and the layout design productivity largely depends on the designer’s skills and expertise. However, a good tool with features for ease of design is a must. Layout productivity has been an area of focus and various features are constantly being added in… Read More

It’s a 14nm photomask, what could possibly go wrong?

It’s a 14nm photomask, what could possibly go wrong?
by Don Dingee on 08-27-2013 at 3:16 pm
Categories: EDA, Siemens EDA

Let’s start with the bottom line: in 14nm processes, errors which have typically been little more than noise with respect to photomask critical dimension (CD) control targets at larger process nodes are about to become very significant, even out of control if not accounted for.… Read More

Test, The Forgotten Step-Child of Semiconductor Design

Test, The Forgotten Step-Child of Semiconductor Design
by Paul McLellan on 08-20-2013 at 7:56 pm
Categories: EDA, Siemens EDA

Somehow, when designing a chip it is synthesis and place & route that gets all the attention. But it is no good taping out perfect layout without also having away to test the silicon. Somehow, test just isn’t as glamorous.

On September 10-12th is the International Test Conference which, as usual, is at the Disneyland Hotel… Read More

Scan the horizon, P1687 takes us higher
by Don Dingee on 07-31-2013 at 6:00 pm
Categories: EDA, Siemens EDA

The tech standards cycle almost always goes like this: Problems or limits develop with the existing way of doing things. Innovators attempt to engineer solutions, usually many of them. Chaos ensues when customers figure out nothing new works with anything else. Competitors sit down and agree on a specification where things work… Read More

Increasing Automotive Semiconductor Test Quality

Increasing Automotive Semiconductor Test Quality
by glforte on 06-17-2013 at 4:45 pm
Categories: EDA, Siemens EDA

The growing amount of electronics within today’s automobiles is driving very high quality and reliability requirements to a widening range of semiconductor devices. At the same time, traditional fault models are becoming less effective at achieving desired silicon quality levels. Improvements in test solutions are needed… Read More

Hardware Assisted Verification

Hardware Assisted Verification

Categories: Cadence, EDA, Events, Siemens EDA, Synopsys

On the Tuesday of DAC I moderated a panel session on Hardware Assisted Verification in 10 Years: More Need, More Speed. Although this topic obviously could include FPGA-based prototyping, in fact we spent pretty much the whole time talking about emulation. Gary Smith, on Sunday night, actually set up things by pointing out that… Read More

DAC: Wally’s Vision
by Paul McLellan on 06-06-2013 at 3:07 pm
Categories: EDA, Siemens EDA

One new feature at DAC this year is that several of the keynotes are preceded by a ten minute vision of the future from one of the EDA CEOs. Today it was Wally Rhines’s turn. Wally is CEO of Mentor Graphics. He titled his talk Changing the World Through EDA. Since EDA as we know it started in the late 1970s, the number of transistors… Read More
