Abstract: EDA customers are faced with a bewildering array of new DFM/DFY technologies. Are manufacturing and yield challenges best solved by "holistic" approaches, implemented in the existing library creation and RTL-to-GDSII flows, and emphasizing preventions over cures? Or should today’s challenges be solved by "point" technologies, particularly at the post-GDSII level, and involving sophisticated litho simulations and hotspot fixing? This Pavilion Panel will present a discussion among proponents of the various available approaches: "prevention" (Cadence), "cure" (Mentor) - and "both" (Synopsys).
