MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel, January 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ –
TowerJazz [http://towerjazz.com ], the global specialty foundry leader, today
announced its participation at the Mentor Forum Israel
[http://www.mentor.com/events/mentor-forum/israel ] on January 15, 2013 at the Hilton
Tel-Aviv hotel. TowerJazz is utilizing several Mentor tool sets, both for design and mask
generation, and will be exhibiting at the event. TowerJazz will also provide two
presentations; Mr. Amir Oren, Senior Program Manager, Mask Technology Group, will discuss
automated Design Rule Checking (DRC) waiver technology and Mr. Ronen Hasnes, Design
Enablement Manager will present on TowerJazz’s reference flow and its use of Mentor’s
Calibre(R) PERC product.

Mr. Oren’s talk will take place at 15:15 in the physical verification track under
“Double Patterning and the Calibre Platform: A Deep Dive” and will focus on the DRC
violation auto waiver, a technique implemented on GDSII files intended to reduce the
amount of DRC errors that appear when run. Usually these errors, if approved by an
integrator, take a lot of time as the approval is done manually and on a case-by-case
basis. By having an automatic runset that identifies and approves these cases, it saves a
lot of time and allows a more fluent tapeout flow. It also allows the debug to focus on
the errors that need to be corrected, if any.
TowerJazz’s presentation on its reference flow and use of Mentor’s Calibre PERC
solution will be provided by Mr. Hasnes at 11:55 in the physical verification track under
“Using Calibre PERC for Circuit Reliability Verification.” Calibre PERC provides the
unique ability to combine schematic (netlist) and physical layout criteria and
measurements to perform advanced checks that were previously done manually because they
were difficult or impossible to automate. TowerJazz is currently using Calibre PERC
internally to create specialized circuit reliability checks for its customers, which
include but are not limited to electrostatic discharge (ESD), charge device modeling
(CDM), and power management propagation checks. TowerJazz is also planning to issue
Calibre PERC rule decks to TowerJazz customers.
“We are pleased to collaborate with Mentor and develop these unique usages for their
tool sets. The development by the TowerJazz design center and mask groups with the Mentor
support team will provide better design-rule coverage for our customers increasing their
confidence in the design and getting to market faster,” said Ori Galzur, Vice President of
the TowerJazz VLSI Design Center. “Enabling a clean DRC run will ease the tapeout
procedure for our customers and allow them to develop products with a higher confidence
level in their design.”
