Manufacturing Variability Challenges

Initial Design

  • How can I create a high-yield design without sacrificing performance?
  • How can I avoid manufacturing variability problems from the start?
  • How can I reach design closure faster, and with higher confidence?

Design Fabrication

  • How can I get my mask flow ready for the next node?
  • How can I speed up my mask flow?
  • How can I manage the cost of computing associated with mask prep?

Design Enhancement

  • How can I avoid manufacturing surprises that delay my volume ramp?
  • How can I incorporate specific foundry information into my design?
  • How can I quickly find and fix the most sensitive design features?
  • How can I get the best possible performance from my design?

Yield Ramp

  • How can I accelerate my yield learning curve?
  • How can I pinpoint the root cause of yield problems?
  • How can I lower my defect escape rate and still keep test costs down?
