Key Features

Comprehensive Analysis-Based Layout Modification

Calibre YieldEnhancer SmartFill functionality combines advanced design analysis with multiple filling solutions for the optimum filling strategy that is correct-by-construction for both digital and analog designs. SmartFill allows designers to satisfy complex IC fill constraints in a single pass.

Optimum Filling Strategy

SmartFill, the Industry’s Leading Fill Solution

Calibre YieldEnhancer SmartFill functionality combines advanced design density analysis with multiple filling solutions for the optimum filling strategy for correct-by-construction results in both digital and custom/analog designs. SmartFill allows designers to satisfy complex IC fill constraints in a single pass, with minimal impact on circuit performance

Time to Market

Optimized Layout Modification That Fits in Design Flows

Calibre YieldEnhancer flows include time-to-market solutions like ECO Fill. The ability to read LEF/DEF and write out changes in an incremental DEF lets the tool fit into all P&R environments

Design Finishing

Programmable Edge Modification

Calibre YieldEnhancer programmable edge modification is a collection of automated edge and polygon manipulating functions. DFM Property determines how much to move the shape and then assigns the value onto the polygon. The Calibre YieldEnhancer tool then reads the property and moves the layout.
