Cadence® Virtuoso® DFM gives designers the ability to accurately assess the design’s
manufacturability for both physical and electrical variability for custom and mixed-signal designs,
libraries, and IPs. Designers can now achieve speedy silicon convergence—without ever leaving the
Virtuoso Layout Suite environment.
Virtuoso DFM allows designers to identify, • Provides incremental recheck after Boosted productivity and predictable
analyze, and automatically optimize the fixing tapeout schedules
design on chip parameters for the impact
Foundry-golden, comprehensive, model- • Near-linear multi-CPU scalability
of physical effects such as lithography,
based litho hotspot analysis enables fastest time-to-convergence
mask, OPC, etch, and RET; as well as
layout-dependent effects such as litho, • Quickly detects litho hotspots • Hierarchical methodology ensures easy
overlay, context-dependent stress, strain, path for engineering change orders
• Automatically fixes litho violations and
well proximity, unintentional stressors like (ECOs)
performs incremental rechecks/fixes
shallow-trench isolation, contact-to-contact
• Performs incremental and what-if
spacing, and more. In addition, the Virtuoso
analysis and exploration
in-design methodology provides an
accurate, model-based flow for designers
to minimize the impact of manufacturing
variations on design performance.
