Accelerating Custom IC Layout with IC Station - San Jose, CA

In this technical hands-on workshop, you will use Mentor's layout editor, integrated routers, and verification solutions to take a design from schematic to DRC-correct layout in a fraction of the time.
Agenda:

Presentation: Introduction to IC Station
Lab 1: IC Station - Connectivity Driven Layout & ECO
Lab 2: IC Station – Interactive and Automatic Routing
Lab 3: IC Station – Top Level Floorplanning
Lab 4: IC Station - Calibre DRC/LVS Integration
Q&A: Ask the experts
What You Will Learn

* Get up-and-running quickly with a layout editing interface that has a familiar look-and-feel!
* Use schematic-driven layout to rapidly create correct-by-construction layout
* Automatically create advanced device structures using built-in device generators
* Manipulate devices without flattening to meet custom needs (matching, inter-digitization, etc.)
* Leverage advanced interactive and automated routers to quickly complete custom-quality layout
* Floorplan your design at the earliest stages to help make key decisions and accelerate your design cycle
* Effectively manage design changes using the "ECO Cockpit"
* What tools will you use:
o IC Station to create connectivity-driven layout from DA-IC schematics
o ICassemble's automatic routers to complete wiring without leaving IC Station
o Calibre DRC to interactively verify layout from within IC Station
o Design Manager IC to manage IC design projects and libraries
