Physical design teams face challenges with via resistance, electromigration and routing density. Calibre DesignEnhancer Via (DE-Via) automates the insertion of additional vias, ensuring DRC-clean layout modifications. This shift-left methodology improves via robustness early in the design cycle, reducing late signoff iterations. DE-Via identifies short-prone regions, avoiding insertion in those areas to maintain productivity and visibility into unresolved issues. What you’ll learn: How automated via insertion improves interconnect robustness The benefits of a shift-left methodology in physical design How DE-Via identifies and avoids short-prone regions The integration of DE-Via into existing design flows Practical benefits of short-resilient handling in via optimization Who should read this: Physical design engineers CAD engineers Design implementation teams Anyone involved in advanced node physical design To learn more, click here .
