Products/Technologies Demonstrations
Process and Proximity Compensation - Accelerating Layout-to-Mask-to-Wafer Flow
Traditional OPC / RET tools perform optical correction at various process points separately. As a result, the time-to-results and quality of results both suffer. With the fourth generation of OPC tools, Cadence has revolutionized this critical step in manufacturing by performing process and proximity correction concurrently. This unique technology delivers superior results with 6X to 10X productivity improvement. Come witness how it can deliver revolutionary results in your fab.

Improving Time to Volume Manufacturing by Design Including Double Patterning
As consumer products increasingly drive the semiconductor industry, time to volume manufacturing is critical in the success of a product. Witness the benefits of preventing, analyzing, and optimizing manufacturability variations in the design space to ensure that your design is correct by construction. Find out about a more streamlined flow to implement double patterning techniques.

Intelligent and optimized flow for yield ramp
Cadence® Encounter® Diagnostics is a complete, intuitive, full-function solution for ramping yield on high-volume devices. Its highly accurate simulation engine, robust volume analysis environment, and physical layout browsing capability will be shown quickly analyzing hundreds of failures to identify the source of systematic yield loss. Links to Design for Manufacturability tools will be presented to accurately pinpoint specific defect locations in the netlist and layout.

Manufacturing-aware implementation for advanced node design
With the advent of 45nm semiconductor technology, systematic variations due to lithography and CMP must be taken into account during SoC, ASIC and custom designs to avoid large margins applied at every stage of the design, long timing closure cycle time, poor yield and costly silicon respin. This demo shows how to ensure "what-you-design-is-what-you-get" on silicon — and how designers can deploy the comprehensive Cadence manufacturing-aware design methodology to prevent variations due to litho and CMP—which can create catastrophic or parametric failures—using prevention during routing, detect them using foundry-certified model-based solutions, automatically repair them, and analyze their parametric impact using Cadence advanced parasitic extraction.
