Mentor Graphics Calibre Pattern Matching Enables Advanced Checking of TSMC 20nm Designs

Business Wire
Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced that TSMC
will use Calibre® pattern matching (PM) capabilities within its
Unified DFM Engine for 20nm litho process checking (LPC). The
Calibre PM facility provides fast pattern-based analysis to
identify potential litho yield detractors (high-risk features known
to be difficult to image) that may be present in the layout.
Calibre PM provides a fast, scalable and robust implementation
of layout pattern matching that is seamlessly integrated with the
traditional Calibre DRC platform. It also includes a graphical
environment for defining and managing pattern libraries in either
interactive or batch mode.
“The incorporation of powerful pattern matching capabilities
within the Calibre platform provides designers with a comprehensive
solution for physical verification and design for manufacturing
(DFM) signoff at leading edge nodes,” said Joseph Sawicki, vice
president and general manager of the Design-to-Silicon division at
Mentor Graphics. “Innovative technology, combined with our
extensive interface efforts, makes Calibre the touchstone of the IC
development process—the common signoff solution for all phases of
the IC design process from initial custom development through full
chip verification.”
“Our LPC Unified Engine delivers high accuracy and fast
turnaround by eliminating the need for full chip litho simulation,”
said Suk Lee, TSMC senior director, Design Infrastructure Marketing
Division. “Calibre PM is an important component of this capability
because it quickly identifies the suspect patterns that require
further analysis, while freeing the rest of the layout from the
need for litho simulation.”
