Who:
Silicon Frontline Technology, Inc. (SFT), an Electronic Design Automation (EDA) company in the post-layout verification will exhibit and present a tutorial on Field Solvers for Advanced Analog and Digital Designs at the International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design (ISQED).
What:
Tutorial
Field Solvers and Parasitic Extraction for Advanced Analog and Digital Designs
Dr. Maxim Ershov, Chief Scientist at Silicon Frontline, was formerly a professor at the University of Aizu, Japan and Georgia State University. He has over 100 publications in refereed journals and conferences.
The tutorial covers challenges and solutions of RC extraction for advanced high-speed digital and precision analog circuits. A need for accurate, reliable, and efficient capacitance extraction will be illustrated using examples, where 3D metal shapes, complicated BEOL (Back End Of Line) stack, and various manufacturing and other effects dominate design parasitics. A comparison of various extraction tools including pattern-matching extractors, and mesh-based and mesh-less field solvers is included.
Exhibit
Silicon Frontline's products, F3D (Fast 3D) for fast 3D extraction and R3D (Resistive 3D) for 3D extraction and analysis of large resistive power devices, provide nanometer and Analog Mixed Signal (A/MS) design accuracy and improve the reliability and efficiency of semiconductor devices.
F3D is ideally suited for sensitive analog and A/MS circuits where coupling is a challenge -- ADCs, DACs, circuits with differential signals, MIM/MOMCaps and 3D devices, image sensors, RF and high speed designs and for circuits manufactured at advanced technology nodes, such as 65, 40 and 32nm as well as for 90nm to 350nm nodes. R3D target applications include discrete or embedded power devices, where efficiency and reliability are important, as well as designs requiring analysis of large metal interconnects.
