Calibre nmDRC Your designs deserve Calibre confidence Benefits • Used by every major foundry for process development and validation • Fast, scalable, flexible resource usage • Direct access to Milkyway, LEF/DEF, OpenAccess, OASIS and GDSII design databases • Calibre eqDRC provides precise characterizations and simplifies debugging of complex multi-variate design issues • Calibre Fast XOR enables fast, accurate LVL comparisons Calibre nmDRC – right from the start To ensure acceptable design performance in new process technologies, foundries iteratively explore design constraints and manufacturability to define the design rules ultimately used by their customers. The physical verification tool used by every major foundry to develop these design rules is Calibre® nmDRC. What that means to you is that Calibre rule decks are proven long before you need them. When performance and time to market control potential profitability, using Calibre nmDRC for your physical verification can mean the difference between market success and failure. Calibre nmDRC is continually evolving to meet the demands of shrinking geometries and complex manufacturing methodologies. When designers need new ways to assess the quality of their designs in light of more complex process constraints and larger process variations, Calibre nmDRC delivers the new capabilities and enhanced performance that provide comprehensive analysis capabilities while minimizing cycle time. With Calibre nmDRC, designers can confidently manage physical verification for every design, at every node. Calibre nmDRC runtime and resource usage With increasing size and complexity of designs, and the explosion of new rule checks required for the next technology node, the need for faster turnaroundtime is critical. • Comprehensive fill support, including fill back annotation to Milkyway, LEF/DEF, OpenAccess, OASIS and GDSII design databases. • Pattern matching support • Double patterning layout analysis support • Comprehensive, accurate and proven signoff physical verification for advanced technology nodes and designs at all major foundries • Industry-leading speed minimizes runtime and resource usage • Enhanced DRC debugging provides the fastest results with the highest accuracy Calibre nmDRC provides fast, sophisticated, and proven technology that enables the fastest and most accurate physical verification of the most challenging designs at any
