5Traditional IC design flows too complex
- Series of point tools that looks at various steps
- Wireload models are not useful
- Corrections at the end cause iterations
- Standalone analysis is dead
- Power and other manufacturing effects cannot be
done as point solutions - Files sizes are too big

TSMCs Libraries and Technology Rules 0.15 um,
0.13um, 90nm
- Mutual customers Broadcom, Vitesse, Internet
Machines, PhyWorks, Sony, Hitachi, Panasonic,
etc. - Strong partnership for 90nm integration
11Why TSMC Chose Magma
- Magma can integrate TSMC process-tuned libraries
with their proven EDA tools to improve faster
time to volume. - - Genda Hu, VP of Marketing, TSMC
-
- Magma worked closely with TSMC to
- Validate TSMCs library in Magmas design
environment - Benchmark TSMC libraries
- Ensure that Magma software supports TSMC
manufacturing rules for 0.15?m, 0.13?m and 90nm - Complex design rules, via farm rules, metal
rules, multi Vt cells - TSMC partnered with the industrys best to
provide high quality libraries
12Magma Ready For IBM Technology
- Magma approved with validated Reference Flow for
0.13um and 0.18um technologies including Blast
Create and Blast Fusion - Artisan libraries for 8SF and 7SF processes fully
qualified - Joint customers include 3DLabs, Vitesse,
Intersil, Thomson Multi-Media, Clearspeed, etc.
13Partnership Roadmap
- Faraday is a close partner of UMC that provides
- Design services from RTL to GDS
- Libraries and IPs
- Tapeout services and product engineering services
- Their own standard products using their own IP
manufactured by UMC - Magma Faraday/UMC partnership roadmap consists
of three implementation phases - Mutual customers Faraday, Intersil, AMCC, etc.
