AnaGlobe develops perspective IC custom layout design tools, which are defined by the application needs.

 GOLF

Global Object Layout Formula, with innovated constraint based core technologies, provides the intuitive UI to create universal Pcells with parameterized objects and defined constrains. Especially the innovated techniques of rule constrains, which eliminate re-layout cycle caused by process change.

Benefits

• 20x productivity gain and reduce conventional structure layout development cycle, especially test chip and memory layout.
• Hierarchical parameterized architecture offers true scalability to reduce layout construction cycle time from weeks down to days.
• More efficient way to utilize rule constraints for different process layout, transfer and ramp to production dramatically.  
• Easily adjusts parameters/constraints to fit various device layout requirements and avoids human errors in the conventional manual approach.

 GLE

Global Layout Environment, with innovated core technologies, form into a speedy and efficient traditional geometry layout tool.  GLE provides simple, sensible, speedy facilities.  Especially the innovated techniques of on-line compaction and real-time layout revision, which can effectively handle the dynamic design rules of the nanometer process.

Benefits

• Compatible with other layout tools based on OA.
• Convenient design windows switching: tiles/cascades multiple cell-view windows, cycles cell-view windows.
• Modern GUI design: static banner ruler, scrollbar, layer conditions, dynamic coordinates key-in, and command prompt-bar.
• Provides many productivity functions over the existing tools.
• Provides Pcell-Device to reduces tedious/error-prone layout.
• Built-in P2P and X-path accelerates wire connections.
• Fully customizable XML file to initialize the GUI to reduce the learning curve for new users.
• Specific task panels plug-in.
• Socket based integration with 3rd party solution.

 GlobeViewer

Global Layout Viewer is a high performance IC layout and mask data viewer. Some IC companies in Taiwan and China such as VIS、PSC and SMIC have adopted this product. Our benchmark data shows 2X performance advantage over other viewers. In addition to the viewing and measuring functions that can also be found on other layout viewers, GlobeViewer provides more value-added features for its users.

Benefits

• Easy environment set up and easy to use.
• Multiple formats all-in-one package to reduce tool cost.
• Display performance advantage over the other viewers.
