Collaboration will focus on design methodologies for (sub-) 45nm scaling
IMEC has announced that QUALCOMM Incorporated has joined IMEC’s technology-aware design program (TAD). IMEC and QUALCOMM will be collaborating on circuit and system design methodologies.
IMEC has announced that QUALCOMM Incorporated has joined IMEC’s technology-aware design program (TAD). IMEC and QUALCOMM will be collaborating on circuit and system design methodologies.
Due to the increased variability observed in highly scaled devices and interconnects, use of circuit and system design methodologies become increasingly necessary. IMEC has set up the Technology-Aware Design (TAD) program to develop design solutions that address these (sub-)45nm scaling challenges.
“We are very pleased that QUALCOMM acknowledges the strength of our TAD program. This proves the value of our solution which starts at an earlier stage in the design flow than is being offered by design for manufacturing solutions,” said Rudy Lauwereins, Vice President Nomadic Embedded Systems at IMEC.
“As a part of our ’Integrated Fabless Manufacturing’ business model, we are continually working to deliver functionality at the best cost structure with our products,” said Behrooz Abdi, senior vice president and general manager for QUALCOMM CDMA Technologies. “We are pleased to be a part of IMEC’s TAD program, collaborating on next-generation design flows and ultimately optimising results.”
