Si2 to Host Sessions at SEMICON West 2006; Programs Feature DFM, Library Modeling, and OpenAccess.AUSTIN, Texas -- The Silicon Integration Initiative “Si2” redirects here. For other uses, see Si2 (disambiguation). Silicon Integration Initiative (Si2) is a non-profit consortium of industry-leading semiconductor, systems, EDA, and manufacturing companies, focused on improving the way integrated circuits are (Si2) today announced two sessions they are hosting at the SEMICON SEMICON Semiconductors Equipment and Material International Conference West 2006 show to be held at Moscone Center The Moscone Center is San Francisco, California's largest convention and exhibition complex. The complex consists of two main underground halls underneath Yerba Buena Gardens, Moscone North and Moscone South, as well the three-level Moscone West exhibition hall across 4th Street. in San Francisco San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden , from July 10-14, 2006. Both sessions will be held in the Manufacturing Productivity & Effectiveness Stage in the Esplanade Hall. On Tuesday July 11, will be the session "Design for Manufacturing." The theme of this session is on the broad area of Design for Manufacturability (DFM DFM Design for Manufacturing (newsletter) DFM Design for Manufacturability DFM Dubai Financial Market DFM Delphi Form (computer filename extension) DFM Distinguished Flying Medal DFM Diesel Fuel Marine ), with talks that focus specifically on DFM incentives and solutions to the issues generally accepted in the IC industry. This session will leave the audience with an introduction to why they should care about DFM and what the impediments are, and what solutions are, or will become, available to address key issues and requirements for current and future technology nodes. The presenters will be from the Rsoft Design Group, Stratosphere Solutions, Mentor Graphics Mentor Graphics, Inc (NASDAQ: MENT) is a US-based multinational corporation dealing in electronic design automation (EDA) for electrical engineering and electronics, as of 2004, ranked third in the EDA industry it helped create. , Ponte Solutions, and Pyxis Technology. On Wednesday July 12, will be the session "Growing Smaller Together: Collaboration Below 90nm." This session will look at the issues being exacerbated by the advances of the industry into ever finer feature sizes. These issues of increasing statistical variations, the need for much more accurate power and noise modeling, and the requirement for all of the design elements to be handled in a unified way throughout the design and manufacturing process need immediate attention to prepare for the move into 65nm processes and beyond. This session will present how the industry is responding to these challenges through the Si2 Open Access and Open Modeling Coalitions. The participants in this session will leave with a deep understanding of how a coalition of key industry partners from the IC design companies, the EDA (1) (Electronic Design Automation) Using the computer to design, lay out, verify and simulate the performance of electronic circuits on a chip or printed circuit board. suppliers, and the library and IP providers is driving successful and synergistic activities to resolve problems in data representation, statistical analysis, and modeling for advanced analysis of timing, noise, power and other signal integrity problems.
