New version MEMS+ 6.0 Platform for MEMS/IoT design from Coventor

Coventor announced the immediate availability of MEMS+® 6.0, the latest version of its industry-leading MEMS design platform. MEMS+ 6.0 is a significant advance toward a MEMS design automation flow that complements the well-established CMOS design flow, enabling faster integration of MEMS with electronics and packaging. MEMS+ 6.0 features new enablement of MEMS process design kits (PDKs) and second-generation model reduction capabilities. "The fast growing Internet of Things market will increasingly require customization of MEMS sensors and customized package-level integration to achieve lower power, higher performance, smaller form factors, and lower costs" said Dr. Stephen R. Breit, Vice President of Engineering at Coventor. "SMEMS+6.0 is focused on enabling rapid customization and integration of MEMS while enforcing design rules and technology constraints." With MEMS+ 6.0, users can create a technology-defined component library that imposes technology constraints and design rules during design entry, resulting in a �Scorrect-by-construction�� methodology. This new approach reduces design errors and enables MEMS foundries to offer MEMS Process Design Kits (PDKs) to fabless MEMS designers. Both parties will benefit, with submitted designs having fewer errors, and ultimately fewer design spins and fab cycles required to bring new and derivative products to market. "We ...
