Design Technology – The challenges
Leading design companies follow structured and unique design methodology that imbibes the best practices including rule checks and reviews.

Such leading design teams are faced with challenges of nanometer design namely:

• Nanometer Design Flows and tools are in constant evolution
• System Level Design complexity
• Interoperability issues within single or multiple EDA venders’ flow
• Gaps in traditional IC Design methodology
• Multiple EDA Methodology requirements across various Design projects in same organization.
• EDA group’s challenge magnified from Maintenance and Enhancement of EDA tools to creating and maintaining EDA Methodology
