parasitic extraction

5G IC designs have needed aggressive innovation across many elements and more use of FD-SOI that both pose parasitic extraction challenges.

A white paper details the parasitic extraction technology needed to help design high-performance RF SoCs.

Cadence has launched a web-based EDA service the company hopes will ease the transition from self-hosted computing to more flexible cloud-based development.

Mentor Graphics has launched Calibre xACT, a tool that uses deterministic algorithms to extract parasitics from complex finFET and other nanometer processes.

Cadence has launched a parasitic-extraction tool that takes better advantage of multiple computers and which has been certified for TSMC's 16nm finFET process.

STMicroelectronics is using the OpenPDK standard from Si2 to speed up the production and delivery of process design kits (PDKs) and asks for wider adoption by foundries.

At the SNUG event this week, Synopsys is taking the wraps off its plans to support 3DIC, with updates to tools for physical design and verification.
