ASIC Physical Design

ASIC Physical Design Expertise:

eInfochips’ extensive and innovative Physical Design services flow is designed to meet the demands of today's deep sub-micron ASIC designs.Our operational excellence helps achieve less than 3 iterations for DRC/LVS clean GDSII.

eInfochips’ physical design expertise includes custom layout of IOs and Analog macros, layout creation for leaf cells and top level integration, layout verification through LVS, DRC & DFM checks, RV/IR/EM fixes, reliabilitdiy checks and executing Engineering Change Orders (ECO). Our team is proficient at LVS/DRC debug, custom design tools like Cadence Virtuoso, DFM/RV/IR/EM concepts and scripting skills.
eInfochips' experienced engineering team can help you build successive iterations of a design to address a specific customer requirement at low turnaround time and resource utilization. Our engineers by virtue of their design and verification expertise and experience throughout the physical design flow can ensure that your tape-out is successful.

eInfochips specializes in Synopsys, Magma & Cadence design tools for place and route and has proven ASIC Mask design capabilities with expertise on tools offering Design Rule check and Antenna check.
