STMicroelectronics Tape Out 65nm Cadence Space-Based Router

STMicroelectronics has taped out a 65-nanometer, next-generation mixed-signal communications design using the Cadence Space-Based Router. At 65-nanometers and below, complex design rules are needed to address design density, electrical performance targets and manufacturing effects.

Jean-Paul Morin, STMicroelectronics, said:

Cadence routing solutions have helped us address the interconnect issues of complex analog/RF chips and maximize productivity on many of our custom, analog, and mixed-signal designs…

…Space-Based Router's ability to precisely model neighboring shape configurations was crucial to our recent tapeout of a 65-nanometer RF mixed-signal chip…

Cadence's Space-Based Router extends automated routing technology beyond shape-based and gridded routing with its advanced gridless, three-dimensional, space-based architecture.
