Designing high-performance integrated circuits for 0.25-micron, 0.18-micron, and smaller process technologies poses a tremendous challenge for IC engineers. Finer geometry, lower voltage, and higher frequency requirements are now causing signal integrity and reliability problems such as crosstalk and electromigration to appear in integrated circuits during the manufacturing stage or, even worse, after the IC is in the field. Conventional physical-design flows ignore signal integrity until the post-layout phase. This paper describes Magma Design Automation's approach to eliminating signal integrity violations automatically and to guarantee timing.
