- During the course of evaluating VLSI CAD tools, I've been getting some
- conflicting reports regarding Mentor's layout verification tools,
- ICRules, ICExtract, etc. Since we're evaluating a new purchase, we're
- looking at 8.1.
-
- Our chips range in size from around 200K to 1Meg transistors, and are
- generally a mix of hand crafted and standard cell. The higher
- transistor count chips generally have some kind of regular array.
-
- I'd like to hear from Mentor users who have done chips of a similar
- size, and have verified them using Mentor's tools. If you've designed
- the chip with Mentor's tools, but used some other DRC, LVS, LPE, PRE
- package, I'd also like to know why you decided to go that route.
-
- Thanks in advance.
-
- Paul
