Business Wire
Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced that the
Calibre® LFD™ (Litho Friendly Design) signoff lithography checking
tool has been certified by TSMC for its 20nm IC manufacturing
process.
The Calibre LFD product identifies hotspots and verifies that
designs have sufficient process window. Using the tool, problem
features that cannot be fixed at the mask stage using optical
proximity correction (OPC) can be identified in the design phase
and eliminated before tapeout. This helps to avoid litho-related
manufacturing issues and late stage delays resulting from
re-design. Pre-tapeout litho checking has been an industry best
practice since the 40nm and 28nm processes, and it is now further
proliferated into the advanced 20nm process.
“We collaborated closely with TSMC from the start of their LPC
development project to integrate Calibre LFD with TSMC’s Unified
Design For Manufacturing (DFM) engine in order to deliver a robust
litho process checking (LPC) simulation flow,” said Joe Kwan,
Product Marketing Manager for Calibre LFD and DFM Service at Mentor
Graphics. “Fast and accurate litho checking is an essential
capability that gives design companies competitive advantages, and
Calibre is the tool that the industry relies on to help ensure
manufacturability of designs at the leading edge.”
“At 20nm, LPC helps ensure that advanced designs incorporating
double patterning can meet DFM requirements and minimize
litho-related hotspots,” said Suk Lee, TSMC Senior Director, Design
Infrastructure Marketing Division. “We worked closely with Mentor
to integrate Calibre LFD with our Unified DFM engine to provide
accurate litho checking in a familiar, integrated flow that is
fully supported by TSMC’s 20nm DFM Data Kit.”
