Mentor Graphics offers the broadest support for the electronics ecosystem/supply chain. That’s why you’ll find Mentor experts sharing in a numerous partner activities on the exhibition floor—both in our booth and at our partners’ locations.
Back to the Future: Is There Success without Moore’s Law?
Monday, June 2, 2014
This panel will look at the ways that IC innovators are adding value to established IC nodes through increasing functionality, reduced power consumption, higher reliability, integration of MEMS and silicon photonics, and die stacking.
What will Moore’s Law Cost Us at 10nm?
Tuesday, June 3, 2014
For the first time in many years, there is a lot of uncertainty about how we get to the next IC scaling nodes. Will EUV be ready? Will we have to go to triple or quadruple patterning? Can DSA be commercialized quickly enough? What are the cost implications for these various alternatives? Can we see a way to get to 10nm and 7nm with an affordable technology? Are we at the point where designs are so tightly linked to a manufacturer’s specific process that multi-sourcing is unfeasible? How much commonality is there, and what can tools do to hide the differences? If it’s doable, is multi-sourcing economically viable? This panel will consider these all important questions and provide some insights if not the final answers.
Tackling FinFET Analog Mixed Signal and Memory Verification Panel
Wednesday, June 2, 2014
Analog, mixed-signal, and SRAM design teams migrating to FinFET process nodes are implementing new architectures to take advantage of FinFET benefits and overcome its limitations. As a result they need to retool their transistor-level verification flow for more accuracy, performance and capacity to offset the increased layout, device modeling, device noise, voltage scaling, and process variation effects. Designers of complex analog/mixed-signal circuits such as PLLs, ADCs, SerDes, and transceivers, need to explore alternative architectures and measure their impact in non-planar silicon. Embedded SRAM design teams realize that it is no longer acceptable to tolerate 5% or more inaccuracy in memory IP characterization. This panel is an interactive forum where attendees can exchange ideas and questions with a group of experts who are tackling the exciting opportunities and challenges related to the move to FinFET nodes.
