Blaze DFM provides “Electrical DFM” solutions to integrated device manufacturers (IDMs), fabless semiconductor companies and silicon foundries. Today, chip designers are facing new challenges that are unique to process technologies of 90 nanometers and below, chief among them – leakage power. Prior generation DFM tools are purely geometric and have no knowledge of the electrical characteristics of...More»

Description:	Blaze MO equips chip designers with the ability to get the most out of 90nm and below process technologies. With Blaze MO, designers drive their power and performance requirements into the manufacturing flow, effectively “turbo charging” the manufacturing process. Blaze enhanced designs are faster, less leaky and have better parametric yield. Blaze MO enables designers to: • Minimize leakage power • Improve timing margin • Increase parametric yield Blaze MO performs a comprehensive power and timing optimization of a finished design just prior to the handoff to manufacturing. No changes to any of the design layers are made during this optimization. Instead, Blaze MO outputs an annotation layer in the handoff GDSII database that gives detailed guidance to the OPC flow used in manufacturing. Blaze MO annotations in the design are used in manufacturing to guide the OPC process to a solution that is optimized to meet power and timing constraints. In contrast to the design-oblivious OPC flow that has been used in the past, with Blaze MO every physical feature is fabricated in the way that best supports the design objectives.
