Abstract

Component development with complicated system integration faces great new challenges in today´s disintegrated IC industry. Designers have to collaborate with different vendors of EDA tools, design flows, library, IP, and manufacturing process globally who all have different views of quality and deliverability. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how a foundry can support the design community by setting up standards and methodologies from process technology development to design infrastructure development. Using the integrated services with common roots, designers can enjoy the highest quality and best time-to-volume for system integration
