Abstract
The use of computer-aided design (CAD) and associated computer-aided engineering (CAE) in microelectronic design is well developed. CAD tools for design, simulation, and verification are in wide use. (For convenience, all tools, whether used for design, simulation, or verification, will be genetically referred to in this paper as “CAD”.) CAD toolsets have been developed for semi-custom design, for example, with gate arrays, making VLSI truly accessible to a broad range of customers. On the manufacturing side, computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) tools for scheduling, lot tracking, and process control are routinely used.
