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:
- 9:30 - 10:30 Introduction to IC Station
- 10:30 - 12:00 IC Station Block Creation Lab
- 12:00 - 13:00 Lunch
- 13:00 - 14:00 Advanced Routing with IC Station
- 14:00 - 16:00 Automatic & Interactive Routing Labs
Who Should Attend
- Layout and mask designers
- Layout managers
- project leads
- CAD
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
- Speed up interactive DRC check-and-fix with "in-line DRC"
- 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
- ICstudio to manage IC design projects
