Værktøjer til design i Samsung's state-of-the-art procesnodes
Cadence's digitale, signoff og custom/analog værktøjer kan nu bruges i forbindelse med design i Samsung’s 7LPP og 8LPP procesteknologier (in english).
Cadence Design Systems has announced that its digital, signoff and custom/analog tools are enabled on Samsung Electronics’ 7LPP and 8LPP process technologies. The 7LPP and 8LPP process technologies continue to deliver power, performance and area optimizations with additional scaling benefits over previous generations of advanced FinFET nodes, and customers can begin working on early designs using these next-generation technologies.The Cadence custom/analog, digital and signoff tools meet Samsung’s requirements, which can enable foundry customers to create complex, advanced-node mobile and other vertical market designs using Samsung’s 7LPP and 8LPP process technologies.
The digital and signoff tools currently enabled on the Samsung 7LPP process include the Innovus Implementation System and Physical Verification System for DRC. The custom/analog tools enabled on the Samsung 7LPP process include the Virtuoso Advanced-Node Platform, which consists of the Spectre Accelerated Parallel Simulator (APS), the Spectre Extensive Partitioning Simulator (XPS), the Virtuoso ADE Product Suite, the Virtuoso Layout Suite, and the Virtuoso Schematic Editor. The Quantus QRC Extraction Solution and Physical Verification System for Layout Versus Schematic (LVS) and Manufacturability and Variability Solutions (MVS) are expected to be enabled on the 7nm LPP process by the end of June 2017.

- We’ve worked closely with Cadence to ensure that its custom/analog, digital and signoff tools enable customers to quickly and easily experience the benefits of our advanced-node process technologies. Enabling tools early is essential for our customers to deliver designs to their high-volume customers within tight market windows, says Jaehong Park, senior vice president of the Foundry Design Team at Samsung Electronics.
