Process-aware DTCO flow with GTS CellDesigner and ProEmu

DTCO with the Process in Mind

Use your mask layouts and customize easy-to-use technology process flows to investigate single devices, cells, and circuits. Add process variation in your flow and understand critical process steps and their impact on power, performance, variability, and reliability. Optimize your process to get the most out of your FinFET, NSFET, NWFET, CFET designs!

ProEmu integration with Cell Designer: GDSII masks, process modules and steps, device generation, parasitics extraction (PEX)

Process-Aware DTCO with GTS ProEmu

GTS ProEmu conveniently brings the process to DTCO – a perfect match with GTS CellDesigner. Use predictive device simulations (with GTS Nano Device Simulator NDS), TCAD, 3D RC-extraction, and Spice simulations in unison, to optimize your process, design, and technology – All integrated in GTS Framework, which provides an efficient and comprehensive workplace with built-in optimization.

  • Study variability in masks and processes
  • Identify critical process steps
  • Examine effects down the line
  • Assess the impact on reliability

Understand how each process step affects device performance. Explore key technology parameters with design and process in mind.
