Advanced Manufacturing Closure with Calibre® InRoute and Olympus-SoC
White Paper
ABSTRACT
Achieving manufacturing signoff is getting more difficult at each node as we encounter significant manufacturing limitations and variability. This paper describes the physical signoff challenges seen in advanced node designs. It then demonstrates how the Calibre InRoute platform provides faster and more reliable DRC/DFM signoff by using the Calibre verification and DFM platform to drive routing and optimization within the Olympus-SoC place and route environment.
