STARC Standardizes on Calibre YieldAnalyzer as Reference Tool in DFM Flow for Critical Area Extraction

Business Wire
Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ:MENT) today announced that
STARC (Semiconductor Technology Academic Research Center), a
research consortium co-founded by eleven major Japanese
semiconductor companies, will standardize on Calibre�
YieldAnalyzer� for critical area analysis in their DFM flow. STARC
has decided to use Calibre YieldAnalyzer�s CAA (critical area
analysis) tool to develop yield-aware design methodology as a part
of its "STARCAD-CEL (One step ahead of DFM)" project by accurately
predicting particle yield impact to enable more robust design. As
nanometer technology moves to 90nm and 65nm, manufacturing cost
increases dramatically. Cost associated with just a few percent of
yield loss cannot be ignored. Yield loss is induced by particles in
the manufacturing facility or by process related defects in the
wafer that create pattern shorts or opens. More robust pattern
design can be achieved with yield prediction prior to
manufacturing. This is accomplished by accurately extracting
critical area analysis data from the layout and applying an
optimized model that considers different yield densities for each
process. �From evaluation results we have found that Calibre
YieldAnalyzer delivers highly accurate critical area extraction. We
are going to use this tool not only for critical area extraction
and yield prediction, but also as a reference tool to enable more
effective design enhancement,� stated Nobuyuki Nishiguchi, Vice
President and General Manager, Development Dept.-1, STARC. �We are
pleased that Calibre YieldAnalyzer achieves STARC's requirements
for highly accurate CAA extraction. We look forward to jointly
delivering an effective solution to our mutual customers through
the adoption of Calibre YieldAnalyzer,� said Patrick Williams,
corporate vice president, Mentor Graphics Japan. About Mentor
