Physical Design:
Provides services in transforming the RTL design into a physical layout of the chip using Synopsys Fusion Compiler synthesis and place-and-route tools. The physical design process involves specifying various constraints on the netlist, such as timing, power, area and design rules, and optimizing the layout for performance, quality, and reliability. We work on physical verification techniques such as Siemens Caliber DRC, LVS, antenna and density, especially in the latest nodes such as 5nm and 3nm.
•RTL to GDSII:
Synthesis, Placement and Routing using Fusion Compiler
