D A T A S H E E T
FEATURES:
■■ Used by every major foundry for
process development and
validation
■■ Fast, scalable, flexible resource
usage
■■ Direct access to Milkyway, LEF/
DEF, OpenAccess, OASIS, and
GDSII design databases
■■ Calibre eqDRC provides precise

Calibre nmDRC provides fast, sophisticated, and proven technology that enables the fastest
and most accurate physical verification of the most challenging designs at any node.
Calibre nmDRC - Right From the Start
To ensure acceptable design performance in new process technologies,
foundries iteratively explore design constraints and manufacturability to define
the design rules ultimately used by their customers. The physical verification
tool used by every major foundry to develop these design rules is Calibre®
nmDRC. What that means to you is that Calibre rule decks are proven long
before you need them. When performance and time to market control
potential profitability, using Calibre nmDRC for your physical verification can
mean the difference between market success and failure.
Calibre nmDRC is continually evolving to meet the demands of shrinking
geometries and complex manufacturing methodologies. When designers
need new ways to assess the quality of their designs in light of more complex
process constraints and larger process variations, Calibre nmDRC delivers the
new capabilities and enhanced performance that provide comprehensive
analysis capabilities while minimizing cycle time.
With Calibre nmDRC, designers can confidently manage physical verification for
every design, at every node.
Calibre nmDRC Runtime and Resource Usage
With increasing size and complexity of designs, and the explosion of new rule
checks required for the next technology node, the need for faster turnaroundtime is critical.
Calibre nmDRC delivers the fastest runtimes in the industry, whether you’re
using one CPU or dozens, providing you with the flexibility you need to
optimize your resource allocation and usage while achieving your desired
turnaround time.
