Accelerating Custom IC Layout with IC Station

There are currently no dates scheduled for this event.

Overview

Come and learn how to accelerate your custom layout while maintaining flexibility and custom quality. In this technical hands-on workshop, you will use Mentor's layout editor, integrated routers, and verification solutions to take a design from schematic to DRC-correct layout in a fraction of the time.

Agenda:

Presentation: Introduction to IC Station
Lab 1: IC Station - Connectivity Driven Layout & ECO
Lab 2: IC Station – Interactive and Automatic Routing
Lab 3: IC Station – Top Level Floorplanning
Lab 4: IC Station - Calibre DRC/LVS Integration
Q&A: Ask the experts

What You Will Learn

• Get up-and-running quickly with a layout editing interface that has a familiar look-and-feel!
• Use schematic-driven layout to rapidly create correct-by-construction layout
• Automatically create advanced device structures using built-in device generators
• Manipulate devices without flattening to meet custom needs (matching, inter-digitization, etc.)
• Leverage advanced interactive and automated routers to quickly complete custom-quality layout
• Floorplan your design at the earliest stages to help make key decisions and accelerate your design cycle
• Effectively manage design changes using the "ECO Cockpit"
• What tools will you use:
  • IC Station to create connectivity-driven layout from DA-IC schematics
  • ICassemble's automatic routers to complete wiring without leaving IC Station
  • Calibre DRC to interactively verify layout from within IC Station
  • Design Manager IC to manage IC design projects and libraries
