Parasitic Extraction with high accuracy & performance

Overview

The event discusses recent advancements in process technologies such as FinFET and their impact on parasitic extraction. Layout dependent effects such as DENSITY, LOADING, RETARGETTING, ETCH, CURVILINEAR SRAF/OPC have made the problem of accurate calculation of device and interconnect parasitics highly non-trivial and compute intensive. In this event the lead architect of Calibre xACT will explain the challenges of advanced node extraction.

Analog and digital designers have to spend a lot of time worrying about post-layout simulation, floating metal, BEOL stacks and multiple process corner design closure. Calibre xACT has unique techniques which result in a deterministic and efficient workflow to achieve this goal.

What You Will Learn

What makes the parasitic extraction problem challenging in advanced nodes

How does Calibre xACT address these challenges

What is the role of determinism in workflows and how xACT leverages field solver methods

Who Should Attend

Physical Verification Engineers, Analog and Digital Design Engineers, Analog IP and SOC Leads, CAD Engineers, EMIR & timing signoff Engineer, Power Integrity Engineers, Physical Design engineers, Managers & Directors
