PowerDRC/LVS
Overview of advanced solution for physical verification of ICs
PV background2
 Physical Verification (PV) is a step in microchip design. A layout of new device is
checked to find and fix errors before actual manufacturing
 The check is done by special EDA software - Design Rule Check (DRC) tool
 Missing error on this stage leads to creating malfunctioned microchip and cost
multi-million dollar losses for semiconductor manufacturers
 Another major factor is time. PV is one of the longest stages in design process. It
can takes several days for DRC tool to make just one iteration on modern super large
microchips.
Corporate background
3
Fastest & most accurate DRC technology and cloud-ready PV-flow
Founded in 2009. Privately held by KM Core (www.kmcore.com)
World-wide presence:
 Headquarters, R&D and technical support team resides in Kiev, Ukraine
 Sales & Marketing provided by TEKSTART LLC (US, Taiwan, Israel, Japan)

 Business Development provided by Borsch Ventures
PowerDRC/LVS capabilities4
DRC - design rules checking in layout
LVS – layout vs schematic verification
NVN – schematic vs schematic netlists comparison
ERC – custom electrical rules checking (depends on foundry requirements)
XOR – full layer-by-layer comparison between two layouts
QuickDiff – diffing of layout versions to ensure ECO (engineering change order)
Filler layers generation
Support of antenna rules, density rules, pads, latches and other special rules
Graphical visualization of DRC violations or XOR discrepancies
LVS cross-probing, highlighting of extraction errors and shorted nets
5
Patent-pending One-Shot™ processing
Window
Scanning
Unleash
Using
Core technology
Strip processing for multi-CPU
Hierarchical processing of cell arrays
One-shot Processing
Unique, encapsulation of
rules, layers &
operations
PowerDRC™
6
The main idea of PowerDRC/LVS is to speed up the process of physical verification
by using One-Shot™ processing that delivers maximum CPU efficiency per one rule
check
Silicon-proven: 250nm, 180nm, 130nm, 90nm, 65nm, 40nm
Effective at 32nm and 28nm
Fastest and most accurate native flat DRC engine on the market
Predictable performance and behavior
Multi-CPU and hierarchical operations for linear performance gain
Parallel processing
7
PowerDRC benefits from parallel processing of:
independent groups of rules (blocks)
independent parts of layout (strips)
Parallel tasks may be run in multi-CPU mode on:
a single host
multi host grids like Platform LSF or SGE/OGE
NEFELUS cloud service
custom cloud platform
Scalability proven on 2-64 CPUs
QuickDiff
When a small change is made to a design near tapeout (often called ECO - engineering change order),
the design team may want to make sure - by means of DIFF - that that was the only change made.
8
PowerDRC™- Performance on 1-32x CPUs
9
PowerDRC™- Performance on 1-32x CPUs (cont.)
10
Performance of XOR operation in multi-CPU mode
11
Performance of QuickDiff + XOR
12
PowerLVS™
13
Supports 7 effective comparison algorithms applied automatically and dynamically
depending on the type of encountered blocks to ensure accuracy at the highest level
of performance
Silicon-proven: 250nm, 180nm, 130nm, 90nm, 65nm, 40nm
Predictable performance and behavior
Supports extraction of array instances to get up to 10x performance increase
Provides Multi-label, Floating-label, Hier cells and Open nets reports
Graphical debug is provided by PowerRDE and Short Finder utility
PowerLVS performance
Process node: 40nmLP; Hard IP: analog, logic gates and memory cells, ~ 380 million physical gates
Extraction of all devices: 11 hrs + 5 more hrs for output
Comparison: 12.5 hrs
Total LVS time: 28.5 hrs using 1 CPU core and 128 GB of RAM
Process node: 4um Hard IP: LCD 1280x960: analog IP and pixel cell array, ~ 50 million physical gates
Extraction of all devices: 2 min
Comparison: 1 hr and 50 min
Total LVS time: 1 hr and 52 min using 1 CPU and 8 GB of RAM
14
Unique features
Advantages from using efficient FLAT engine natively
Extremely efficient usage of hardware resources (RAM, cache, CPU load)
Predictable performance
15
Run and Debug Environment (PowerRDE)
16
Allows user to:
Adjust DRC and LVS run parameters
Save them in a run configuration file
Read a saved configuration
Run PowerDRC/LVS
View run progress
Review results
Debug violations, etc.
PowerDRC/LVS integration

Licensing details
• PowerDRC/LVS is licensed on per-CPU basis separately for DRC and LVS
• PowerRDE GUI cockpit requires its own license (PowerRDE)
• Filler layers generation feature (PowerFIL) requires its own license
• XOR and QuickDiff operations (PowerLVL) require their own license
• Licensing employs FlexLM license manager
• Licenses are bound either to hostID (MAC-address) or disk serial number or dongle flexID
• Usual license duration is 1 year
• Licenses are valid for all minor version updates but not for major ones, i.e. license for 2.2 is
valid for 2.2.1 but not for 2.3
• Short-term licenses may be granted for trial purposes
22
Support policy
• POLYTEDA is ready to provide offline (email) technical support based on
additional Support and Maintenance Agreement (available).
• In urgent cases a hot fix version may be sent to the customer as soon as the issue is
solved.

  • 2. PV background2  Physical Verification (PV) is a step in microchip design. A layout of new device is checked to find and fix errors before actual manufacturing  The check is done by special EDA software - Design Rule Check (DRC) tool  Missing error on this stage leads to creating malfunctioned microchip and cost multi-million dollar losses for semiconductor manufacturers  Another major factor is time. PV is one of the longest stages in design process. It can takes several days for DRC tool to make just one iteration on modern super large microchips.

  • 6. PowerDRC™ 6 The main idea of PowerDRC/LVS is to speed up the process of physical verification by using One-Shot™ processing that delivers maximum CPU efficiency per one rule check Silicon-proven: 250nm, 180nm, 130nm, 90nm, 65nm, 40nm Effective at 32nm and 28nm Fastest and most accurate native flat DRC engine on the market Predictable performance and behavior Multi-CPU and hierarchical operations for linear performance gain
  • 7. Parallel processing 7 PowerDRC benefits from parallel processing of: independent groups of rules (blocks) independent parts of layout (strips) Parallel tasks may be run in multi-CPU mode on: a single host multi host grids like Platform LSF or SGE/OGE NEFELUS cloud service custom cloud platform Scalability proven on 2-64 CPUs
  • 8. QuickDiff When a small change is made to a design near tapeout (often called ECO - engineering change order), the design team may want to make sure - by means of DIFF - that that was the only change made. 8
