“In collaboration with Samsung, we’ve achieved certification for our integrated AMS flow at 3nm GAA to drive continued advancements with next-generation design work,” said KT Moore, vice president, product management in the Custom IC and PCB Group at Cadence.
This additional step provides our customers with advanced design capabilities to improve productivity and fulfill market challenges.” “This high-performance flow is available immediately to our customers and represents a major milestone in our ongoing collaboration with Cadence. “We have validated the Cadence AMS tools along with the entire flow, and it meets our requirements for designing with 3nm GAA process technology,” said Sangyun Kim, Vice President of Foundry Design Technology Team at Samsung Electronics. The pure digital block can be entirely implemented in Innovus Implementation and brought back into the Virtuoso platform for integration. For digital block implementation using custom digital methodology, after power mesh using WSP Power Routing (WPR) in the Virtuoso platform and automated row-based standard cell placement using the Virtuoso custom placer, the design is taken into Innovus Implementation for digital routing.
Custom digital and P&R digital layout: Enables seamless interoperability between the Virtuoso platform and Innovus Implementation because the process design kit (PDK) techfile is mixed-signal OpenAccess-ready. Cadence virtuoso layout 100 pins verification#
Physical verification and signoff: Offers post-layout simulation in Spectre X Simulator using Quantus extracted parasitics in detailed standard parasitic format (DSPF), full-chip DRC, layout versus schematic (LVS) signoff and color decomposition using Pegasus verification, and DFM pattern matching check using LPA for detecting and correcting process hot spots and improving yields.
Analog layout: Provides improved productivity via automated constraint-driven, row-based device placement and routing with support for width spacing patterns (WSPs), automated routing with WSPs and pin-to-trunk features, EAD to achieve electrically correct designs with reduced iterations, DRC verification during layout using the signoff deck and the Pegasus Verification System’s interactive capabilities, and automated digital block implementation. Circuit design and verification: Lets users verify circuit performance and reliability by performing static and dynamic circuit checks, DC/TRAN/C/STB corner simulation, transient noise simulation, Monte Carlo simulation and high-yield estimation, periodic steady state (PSS), periodic small-signal (PNOISE), aging and IR drop and electromigration (EM-IR) analysis. Schematic migration: Allows automated migration using the Cadence Virtuoso Automated Layout Enhancer framework. The complete, certified custom and AMS flow includes the Virtuoso ADE Suite, Virtuoso Schematic Editor, Virtuoso Layout Suite, Virtuoso Layout Suite Electrically Aware Design (EAD), Spectre X Simulator, Voltus ™-Fi Custom Power Integrity Solution, Quantus ™ Extraction Solution, Litho Physical Analyzer (LPA), LDE Electrical Analyzer (LEA), Innovus Implementation System, and Pegasus ™ Verification System. In addition, the Innovus ™ Implementation System and the Cadence digital suite are enabled for the Samsung 3nm process node, allowing customers to implement larger, more complex digital blocks. The Cadence tools in the flow incorporate key features that are well suited for digitally assisted analog designs such as high performance, best-in-class analysis and verification capabilities developed in the Cadence Spectre ® Accelerated Parallel Simulator (APS).
