The next phase of design software and flow consolidation

Years ago, timing analysis was a design flow step distinct from place and route. There were 'timing engineers' and file handoffs between separate tools until that capability was folded into the place and route data models. Now, timing drives many of the layout decisions, and while there are still timing specialists, their roles are different, more focused. At advanced node designs, starting at 45 nm and becoming more serious at 32 nm, the physics of IC manufacturing is ushering the next phase of great productivity growth through advancements in physical design software.  

 

What's the future of the physical design flow? Much tighter (seamless?) connection with physical signoff -- DRC, LVS, and DFM. Read more here.
