Multi-window hierarchical editing, multi-user capabilities and powerful scripting and API speed design team productivity. It is easy to install and technology file setup is facilitated by importing existing Virtuoso information, when available.Įxpert’s database architecture provides extremely fast loading, viewing and editing operations for multimillion+ transistor designs – even on basic workstations. Industry standard design formats are supported and many process design kits (PDKs) are available, including popular iPDKs (interoperable PDKs). Its configurability and all-angle features make it suitable for wide range of IC technology requirements including CMOS, BiCMOS, GaAs and many others. Silvaco’s Expert Custom IC was developed to deliver the flexibility, productivity and performance, to meet these growing challenges. Key challenges for circuit designers today include complex and changing IC technology requirements, the increasing number of design rules that must be verified and corrected, exploding design databases and always tight schedules. Expert’s intuitive interface, easy setup and interactive rule checking enable designers to quickly produce correct layouts resulting in fast tapeouts. Links to Calibre RealTime provide sign-off quality DRC interactively and on demand. As a key part of Silvaco’s custom IC design suite, Expert is seamlessly integrated with Gateway schematic design and SmartDRC/LVS physical verification environments. Silvaco’s Expert™ is a hierarchical IC layout editor featuring high capacity and flexible use across many silicon technologies in analog, mixed-signal, RF and digital circuits.
