Sharad Kapur, president of Integrand Software, Inc. "We have been very happy to expand on our relationship with UMC to provide new design tools and accurate models for RFCMOS designers," said Dr. These scalable models are linked to the Integrand's Optimum Capacitor Finder (OCF)™ and Optimum Inductor Finder (OIF)™, and are now being distributed as part of UMC's Foundry Design Kit (FDK). Integrand's EMX® and EMX-Continuum™ tools have been used to create scalable models for Metal-Oxide-Metal (MOM) capacitors and inductors.

Why is EMX so fast? EMX is based on the.News UMC and Integrand Advance Collaboration to Enhance 90nm and 0.13um RFCMOS Design Offeringīerkeley Heights, NJ and Hsinchu, Taiwan, Decem- Integrand Software, Inc., an EDA software company and UMC (NYSE: UMC), a leading global semiconductor foundry, today announced that their ongoing collaboration has resulted in new advances and enhanced capabilities for RF/mixed mode IC designers designing into 90nm and 0.13um nodes.It is a testament to our accuracy that the the world's leading foundries, have all adopted EMX to develop the scalable component models for distribution in their foundry and process design kits. Using advanced numerical techniques, problems that plague other simulation tools such as low-frequency ill-conditioning have been eliminated from EMX. In addition, all relevant physical effects are included in EMX: fully 3D conductors and vias with volumetric currents, accurate handling of sidewall capacitances and inclusion of all substrate effects. This is partly because you can create extremely fine meshes in EMX that accurately captures fine features of the geometry. How accurate is EMX? EMX is very accurate for IC-style layouts.Over the last few years, EMX has become a key tool in the design flow of a number of prominent IC design houses and foundries. Other competing simulation tools based on finite-element methods and boundary element methods simply cannot handle the size of problems that EMX can routinely solve. EMX can simulate blocks with 10s of ports and up to a million mesh elements. EMX allows you to analyze large RF blocks as a whole instead of splitting the problem into smaller problems. In modern RF IC design, coupling between components and interconnect is a major source of design problems and silicon re-spins.

It is used by our for a variety of tasks, from designing simple structures like spiral inductors to extracting large IC layouts including inductors, capacitors, resistors and interconnect.

This interface is supported by Integrand and is documented in the EMX_Calibre_tutorial manual from Integrand. Integrand provides a methodology for integrating Calibre ® and EMX extraction results into a single post-layout netlist for simulation. Integrand’s EMX ® tool is embedded within the Cadence Virtuoso ® environment.
