Optimizing the Integration of DFM and P&R

White Paper Overview

Design companies and foundries are constantly modifying their design implementation flow to deliver the best possible solution for their operational needs and the best possible designs for the market. While the use of DFM tools can help shorten design iterations, they are typically not well integrated with P&R environments. Database conversions are required to enable designers to transfer data from these tools to the P&R environment. In the past, conversion options have been limited, reducing their value to the design flow.

This white paper from Siemens Digital Industries Software discusses a solution for fast, accurate back-annotation of fill, via, and net objects to P&R applications.
