Virtuoso Meets Maxwell: How Come There is No Mention of Wirebonded ICs?

By Steve PDK Lee | 2 Aug 2020

Hello and welcome to Virtuoso Meets Maxwell. If you are a regular reader you might be thinking to yourself, “There’s not a lot about wirebonds in the Virtuoso RF Solution and I’m interested in wirebond support.” That’s a great observation and it’s time for bringing wirebonds into the spotlight.

Virtuoso Meets Maxwell: What About My Die That Has No Bumps, Only Pad Shapes? How Do I Export That?

By Kabir | 6 Apr 2020

If you have one of those Die layouts, which doesn’t have bumps, but rather uses pad shapes and labels to identify I/O locations, then you might be feeling a bit left out of all of this jazz and tango. Hence, today, I am writing to tell you that, fear not, we have a solution for your Die as well.

Virtuosity: Are Your Layout Design Mansions Correct-by-Construction?

By KomalJohar | 26 Mar 2020

Do you want to create designs that are correct by construction? Read along this blog to understand how you can achieve this by using Width Spacing Patterns (WSPs) in your designs. WSPs, are track lines that provide guidance for quickly creating wires. Defining WSPs that capture the width-dependent spacing rules, and snapping the pathSegs of a wire to them, ensures that the wires meet width-dependent spacing rules.
