Physical verification flow optimized for mobile
and hyperscale advanced-node design development
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNS) today announced that
the Cadence® Pegasus™ Verification System has achieved
certification for Samsung Foundry’s 5nm and 7nm process
technologies. Through the collaboration with Samsung Foundry, the
Cadence physical verification flow has been optimized to enable
customers using Samsung Foundry’s advanced nodes to reach signoff
accuracy and runtime goals in a variety of market areas, including
the mobile and hyperscale markets. Samsung Foundry also delivered
an enhanced, signoff-accurate process design kit (PDK) to
facilitate the adoption of the Pegasus Verification System on the
Samsung 5nm and 7nm technologies.
The Pegasus Verification System offers many advantages for
engineers creating designs using Samsung’s advanced nodes. It
provides massive scalability, which leads to faster turnaround
times and more predictable design cycle times with design rule
checks (DRCs), layout versus schematic (LVS), hierarchical metal
fill (HMF) insertion and design-for-manufacturing (DFM) signoff. It
has been validated with the Cadence Innovus™ Implementation System,
providing improved productivity with signoff-level checks through
implementation. Designers can easily fulfill mandatory DFM signoff
requirements by leveraging integrated hotspot detection with
seamless automated fixing. Additionally, the Pegasus Verification
System features a tight, interactive integration with the Cadence
Virtuoso® Layout Suite environment. For more information on the

“We value our collaboration with Cadence and have worked
diligently to enable our mutual customers to sign off their designs
using the Pegasus Verification System and Samsung Foundry’s
advanced-node process technologies,” said Jong-Wook Kye, vice
president of the Design Enablement Team at Samsung Electronics.
“Through the certification process, we’re enabling our mutual
customers to simultaneously improve power, performance and area and
accelerate their design cycles to handle extreme market pressures.
We also found that the Pegasus Verification System provided massive
scalability for faster iterations, which lets customers focus on
improving design closure.”
“The Pegasus system was architected from the ground up to
accelerate the signoff physical verification flow through its
massively parallel capabilities and integration into our Virtuoso
environment and Innovus Implementation System,” said Michael
Jackson, corporate vice president, R&D in the Digital &
Signoff Group at Cadence. “This allows our customers to define and
meet design schedules with greater predictability. We appreciate
our continued collaboration with Samsung Foundry, which is critical
to ensure our customers are confident using our signoff flow on
Samsung’s advanced 5nm and 7nm process technologies.”
The Pegasus Verification System is part of the broader Cadence
digital flow, which provides better predictability and a faster
path to design closure and supports Cadence’s Intelligent System
Design™ strategy, enabling SoC design excellence.
