Magma Volcano supports TSMC 45- and 65-nm IC implementation
( 01 Jun 2008 )
Magma Volcano databases and Quartz RC tech files are now available for download along with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) cell libraries. With these files and a single command in the Talus IC implementation system, designers can reduce the time and effort required to begin implementing 45- and 65-namometer (nm) ICs. Other flows still require multiple steps before design implementation can begin, including importing LEF/DEF files, manufacturing rules and RC extraction technology files into multiple tools.
