TSMC Certifies Synopsys Design Tools for 1. Fin. FET Plus Production and for 1. Early Design Starts. MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 6, 2. PRNewswire  Highlights Certification includes the full suite of digital, signoff and custom implementation tools IC Compiler certification completed for 1. Fin. FET Plus v. 1. Design Rule Manual DRM and SPICE model IC Compiler II is under validation for 1. FF v. 1. 0, with certification targeted to be completed by the end of April 2. DRM and SPICE model to be completed in June 2. Synopsys, Inc. Nasdaq SNPS today announced that TSMC has concluded 1. Fin. FET Plus 1. FF v. DRM and SPICE model on a comprehensive list of Synopsys custom and digital design tools. This certification enables mutual customers to deploy tools in Synopsys Galaxy Design Platform for 1. The certified platform delivers technologies including routing rules, physical verification runsets, signoff accurate extraction technology files, statistical timing analysis that correlates with SPICE, and interoperable process design kits i. PDKs for Fin. FET processes. TSMC and Synopsys have collaborated to enhance new tool features based on both 1. Synopsys Design Compiler FreeSynopsys IC Compiler II place and route solution with TSMC validation. This includes full flow color enablement, support for connected poly on gate oxide and diffusion edge CPODE technology, layer optimization, low Vdd timing closure and support for signal electro migration. The two companies are also working together to complete IC Compiler II certification for 1. April and 1. 0nm in June 2. The combination of tool certification and our longstanding collaboration with Synopsys is enabling customers 1. FF production ramp up and early engagements at 1.
