Shift-left DE-Via: Calibre-aware, short-resilient via insertion for signoff-ready physical design

Diagram showing the shift-left methodology where Calibre-aware, DRC-clean via optimization is moved earlier into the implementation phase, reducing the volume of late-stage signoff iterations.

Physical design teams face challenges with via resistance, electromigration and routing density. Calibre DesignEnhancer Via (DE-Via) automates the insertion of additional vias, ensuring DRC-clean layout modifications.

This shift-left methodology improves via robustness early in the design cycle, reducing late signoff iterations. DE-Via identifies short-prone regions, avoiding insertion in those areas to maintain productivity and visibility into unresolved issues.

What you'll learn:

  • How automated via insertion improves interconnect robustness
  • The benefits of a shift-left methodology in physical design
  • How DE-Via identifies and avoids short-prone regions
  • The integration of DE-Via into existing design flows
  • Practical benefits of short-resilient handling in via optimization

Who should read this:

  • Physical design engineers
  • CAD engineers
  • Design implementation teams
  • Anyone involved in advanced node physical design
