DFM

An emulator that extends the reach of hardware acceleration into the world of multiphysics analysis could result from the merger of Siemens PLM Software with Mentor.

Samsung Foundry has adapted Mentor's DFM and test tools in a system that can produce a 10% increase in yield across all nodes.

Cadence Design Systems has made additions to its Virtuoso mixed-signal design environment intended to improve design for manufacture and the ability of teams to create and test safety-critical systems.

Samsung bases PRISM and FLARE defect analysis and optimization on Mentor Graphics' Calibre and Tessent. Yields rise. Ramps shorten.

Cadence has launched the 16.6 release of its Allegro PCB-design portfolio, adding modules for manufacturing documentation and design-rule preparation aids.

Cadence Design Systems has added five products to its OrCAD line of PCB-design tools that cover manufacturability, signal integrity and management, and introduced three feature updates.

FinScale has developed a design and process recipe for a finFET structure that the company claims is easier to make but which provides better performance than existing approaches.

Valor NPI-based flow claims first in automating the passage of drawings to fabrication, and enabling dynamic DFM feedback from manufacturers.

Highway1 has opened up Spring applications for its incubation service for hardware startups: trying to overcome the gap between prototype and product.
