Blaze DFM to Exhibit and Present Hands-On Tutorials at the DAC 2007
(Interviews, 30 May 2007 )
Blaze DFM, the electrical DFM company, will have multiple presences at this year's Design Automation Conference, which will be held on June 4-7, 2007, at the San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA.
Standard Cell Library and Hard IP Design Presented by Blaze DFM Inc./Ponte Solutions Inc./Sagantec 9:00am - 12:00pm, Monday, June 4, 2007 Room 11A
Blaze, Ponte Solutions, and Sagantec are presenting a hands-on tutorial on the value of design for manufacturing (DFM) solutions during intellectual property (IP) development. Participants will use analysis tools from Ponte and Blaze to detect areas of the IP blocks and cells that may be highly susceptible to manufacturing defects, "hotspots," and then automatically fix those hotspots with Sagantec's optimization software.

Blaze and TSMC are presenting a hands-on tutorial on how to handle manufacturing variation on large digital designs. Participants will learn how to use the information contained in TSMC's DFM Design Kit (DDK) together with Blaze's electrical DFM analysis and optimization software to reduce the effects of manufacturing variation and substantially boost parametric yield.

STARC Customer Presentation 10:00am - 11:00am, June 7, 2007, San Diego Convention Center, Booth #1884
Masami Murakata of the Semiconductor Technology Academic Research Center (STARC) will present the results of the technical evaluation that led to STARC's selection of Blaze MO leakage power optimization software for their STARCAD-CEL 65nm ultra low-power reference flow.
Blaze DFM Technical Sessions Blaze's engineering team will be presenting the following technical papers and tutorials: - "Modeling for DFM/DFY" Monday, June 4, 12pm - 5pm, Room 6A - "Line End Shortening is not Always a Failure" Tuesday, June 5, 4:30pm - 6:30pm, Room 6F - "How Design Meets Yield in the Fab" Friday full-day tutorial, June 8, Room 6D
Blaze Electrical DFM Product Demonstrations June 4 - 7, 2007 San Diego Convention Center, Booth #1884
Blaze will also be offering product demonstrations at exhibition Booth #1884. Blaze MO leakage power optimization software has been proven in silicon to reduce subthreshold leakage power and variability by up to 20 percent and 30 percent, respectively, on 90nm and 65nm designs, resulting in substantial double-digit gains in parametric yield.
