GBT
Seeking to
Develop New
EDA Technology
to
Achieve
Improved
IC DFM
(Design for Manufacturing)
SAN DIEGO, CA --
March 18, 2021 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- GBT Technologies Inc.
(OTC
PINK: GTCH )
("GBT" or the "Company"), is seeking to
develop
a
new EDA
(Electronic Design Automation) technology to achieve IC's better
DFM (Design For Manufacturing) analysis.
As
Integrated
Circuits (IC) technology advances,
manufacturing and complexity are constantly
growing. Microchips
are being scaled
down to meet the never-ending
increasing demand
for more functionalities,
lower power consumption, higher performance and lower
cost,
creating major design and
manufacturing challenges.
Especially with
deep nanometer chips, manufacturing is facing
massive
challenges in
terms of silicon manufacturability,
and
yield
efficiency. Power-Performance-Area (PPA),
performance
and
design
power
constraints
are
making
turnaround
schedules
for
manufacturers difficult to achieve.
GBT
commenced
a research and
development efforts to introduce an analytical system and method to address
yield
considerations
to help
produce IC
designs with the goal of
providing more yield
efficient.
The
EDA R&D
efforts will be concentrating on
DFM rules
analysis, physical layout geometrical
rules (DRC) and nanometer silicon
modeling. The planned solution will be
a real-time, interactive
guiding
system with the goal of
enabling
DFM
advice/auto-correction early during
the
microchip's design stage.
GBT already
started to address a key dependency
between
manufacturing and IC design; the Design Rule Check (DRC)
aspect. IC DRC rules are geometrical design constraints,
imposed by the
manufacturing process. These constraints are enforced due to
manufacturing process limitations and typically required long
design time to achieve compliance. The new
approach will target to embed
DFM
manufacturing rules along with geometrical
rules check (DRC) to advise designers
with the goal
of making
their IC design more compatible
for
manufacturing. The goal is to
increase silicon yield, obeying to
power and performance constraints, through early adherence of DFM rules,
rather than complying only with
DRC
rules.
"The quest to comply with DFM
rules has become a true challenge, especially as we
dive into advanced nanometer
nodes. As
part of our ongoing EDA R&D efforts we identified
IC
verification
domains that are a bottleneck for design schedules and time
to market factors. We already addressed
major
time-consuming
topics
in this
area which
are geometrical rules
(DRC) and reliability
verification
(RV). As
we expand our EDA physical design
solutions,
we
plan to
address
DFM (Design for Manufacturing)
recommended
rules,
combining them with DRC rules to
enable robust analytics
to shortened
advanced nodes ICs design while obeying power
constraints and performance
to
increase
the
silicon
yield. Ultimately all
physical
aspects of a microchip design
affect
each other
and have mutual
implications. Therefore,
our
approach is to address them together within
one integrated analysis, including their dependencies.
We believe that
this is the best way to deliver a comprehensive, effective
DFM aware
solution. By
taking into effect the IC's design
area, the DRC and the DFM recommended
rules
we aim to
significantly improve the yield, especially for deep
nanometer nodes like 5nm and below. With this
approach, we target to implement machine
learning IC physical
layout
statistical modeling for critical
areas analysis and other manufacturing
related topics. We truly believe that only
by addressing these topics as one homogenous EDA
solution, an effective
signoff design
for DFM can be
achieved"
stated Danny Rittman, the
Company's CTO.
There is no
guarantee that the Company will be successful in researching,
developing
or implementing this system. In order to
successfully implement this concept, the Company will need to raise
adequate capital to support its research and, if successfully
researched, developed and granted regulatory approval, the Company
would need to enter into a strategic relationship with a third
party that has experience in
manufacturing, selling and distributing this product. There
is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in any or all
of these critical steps.
