Verification offered for organic thin film transistor
Plastic Logic has adopted Synopsys' IC Validator product for physical verification of its proprietary organic thin film transistor technology. IC Validator's modern design and advanced hierarchical capabilities allow it to accommodate Plastic Logic's process technology and deliver fast turn-around times on the company's large flexible screen designs.
Advances in process technology have placed growing demands on physical verification tools to check many more design rules that are also becoming much more complex. This evolution has created intense interest among IC designers for the latest and most capable physical verification tools that can address these challenges.
IC Validator is a comprehensive solution for all physical verification tasks, including design rule checks, layout-vs-schematic checks, electrical rule checking and metal fill insertion. Its modern architecture and excellent multi-core scalability make IC Validator the signoff tool of choice for a growing number of customers, from those doing small analogue designs to those working on the most advanced digital chip designs in the world.
“Plastic Logic has very large area semiconductor designs that require signoff verification of our proprietary technology,” said Sebastian Mosler, Design & Layout Engineer, Plastic Logic. “Synopsys is able to quickly deliver a runset that performs all of the design rule and connectivity checks we need. IC Validator can handle design requirements enabled by a flexible transistor technology that can enable unique product designs and features.”
“We are committed to providing the best solutions for our customers working with leading-edge technologies including FinFET, silicon-on-insulator, and thin film transistors,” said Bijan Kiani, Vice President, Product Marketing, Design Group, Synopsys. “We look forward to further collaboration with Plastic Logic on solutions for the next generation of manufacturing technologies.”
