IC Tooling is here to help you improve your Integrated Circuit (IC) Design experience.

We offer help in all facets of the design flow. This starts with the selection of your fabrication vendor(s), and CAD tool suppliers. We can guide you through all of the required STEPS you need to create your final product, and the extra STEPS you may want to put in place to help control/manage your product.

We can help you improve your existing design flows by: integrating and augmenting your flow with your special requirements, and by adding point tools and practices to your existing procedures. We can aid you in the understanding the existing required flows and propose innovative solutions to data and flow issues in your existing IC tool environment.

We can help with: IC vendor choice (Fab), IC Tool platforms, Point IC Tools, Workflow through the tools, Data integrity, Version control, design archival, IP management, and several other related issues.

We have expertise in: Cadence (artist) framework, Process Design Kits (PDK's), DRC tools and issues, Layout issues (Pcells, arrayed devices, U/I, compactors), Device extraction, Parasitic parameter extraction, Parasitic Resistance Extraction, Inductance extraction, LVS, netlisting, analog layout, mixed mode simulation, TAPEOUT issues, design archival, IP management, as well as many other related areas.
