As the industry's most comprehesive foundry-certified model-based
design manufacturability checker, Cadence® Litho Physical
Analyzer detects manufacturability issues missed by traditional
DRC check in a fraction of the time required by solutions based
on OPC and lithography simulation. It quickly and accurately
accounts for systematic manufacturing variations, helping designers
improve yield during physical design implementation.
Cadence Litho Physical Analyzer also provides designers with
advanced DFM hotspot detection and correction capabilities. Its
physics-based modeling technology finds lithography hotspots and
enables repair based on fast and accurate silicon contour
prediction across the process window. Designers can use these
predicted silicon contours for further electrical DFM analysis
with Cadence Litho Electrical Analyzer.
Benefits
Checks cells in second, full chips in hours
Detects yield-limiting variability hotspots and produces fixing guidelines
Integrates with design flows for automatic fixing
Delivers fast, silicon-accurate contour shape prediction across the process window to enable electrical DFM analysis
