Collaboration will provide calibre LFD solution for internal and fabless customers
Mentor Graphics Corporation has announced that Fujitsu Limited will be using Mentor's Calibre LFD to enhance their Design for Manufacturing (DFM) capabilities in the manufacturing of semiconductors both for internal product development and for external fabless customers.
"Fujitsu has worked closely with Mentor to create a Calibre LFD kit for our 65nm process to allow our internal design teams, as well as our foundry customers, to explore lithographic sensitivities early in the design process," said Shoji Ichino, General Manager, Technology Development Division, Electronic Devices Business Group of Fujitsu Limited. "We believe having a highly accurate model that allows us to make critical trade-off decisions before the design is sent to fabrication is a valuable capability for all our customers to ensure high yield and rapid time-to-market."
"Today, we've reached another major milestone in the adoption of Calibre LFD," said Joe Sawicki, vice president and general manager for the design-to-silicon division at Mentor Graphics. "We are very pleased to work with Fujitsu on enabling its DFM offering for internal designers as well as its fabless customers."
