Mentor Graphics will have a typically strong presence at SPIE Advanced Lithography 2016 in San Jose later this month (February 21-25).

The company will present nine oral and nine poster papers during the technical conference at the San Jose Marriott, some where its technical staff are the sole authors and others describing work undertaken with partners such as AMD, GlobalFoundries, Samsung and SMIC (see below for full list).

Mentor will then also be participating during the SPIE Advanced Lithography exhibition at the San Jose Convention Center (Booth #225). The exhibition runs on Tuesday (February 23) and Wednesday (February 24). This year’s featured product on Mentor’s stand will be Calibre RET/MDP.
