 After a year-long evaluation period, STMicroelectronics has selected Clear Shape Technologies' ‘InShape' and ‘OutPerform' DFM products for 65nm and below device tapouts.
"Our requirements for DFM solutions are extremely stringent, since we design high-performance, high-volume products for many applications such as mobile communications, computer peripherals and consumer electronics," said Philippe Magarshack, Front-End Technologies and Manufacturing Group Vice President and General Manager of Central CAD & Design Automation at STMicroelectronics. "Clear Shape demonstrated excellent silicon-accurate results and performance. Their solutions will enable our IP and library developers to eliminate systematic variability from their designs thanks to silicon accurate lithography and OPC modeling," he added.
Clear Shape claimed that its InShape product completed full-chip analysis in hours and that electrical characterization had a high correlation to actual silicon results via its OutPerform tool.
