Custom Compiler enabled by Samsung for 14nm FinFET production
Synopsys has revealed that the company's Custom Compiler tool has been enabled by Samsung for 14nm LPP and LPC FinFET production. The process delivers high performance for compute-intensive designs and lower power consumption for mobile applications.
Custom Compiler support is provided through a jointly developed interoperable Process Design Kit (iPDK)-format design kit. Unified with Synopsys' circuit simulation, physical verification and digital implementation tools, Custom Compiler provides Samsung 14nm LPP and LPC process users with a comprehensive custom design solution.
Bijan Kiani, Vice President, Product Marketing, Synopsys, commented: "Samsung support for Custom Compiler is very important to our mutual customers. Through close collaboration, the two companies were able to deliver a design kit and set of tool features that enable Custom Compiler's visually-assisted automation flow for Samsung Foundry customers."
