Analog Migration with virtuoso studio

My first job out of college was migrating a DRAM chip from one process node to a newer node, and it was a 100% manual process that required many months of effort. That need to migrate semiconductor IP to newer nodes is still with us today, and much automation has been applied to digital circuits, however migrating analog IP has proven… Read More

In the world of sub-40nm IC design, as feature size decreases with each new process node, it becomes increasingly difficult to migrate a layout to a new process technology. Too many factors impact manufacturability and yield. At each new process node, to make sure that a given layout is manufacturable and yields well, it is subject… Read More
