As a world leading pure-play foundry, UMC offers comprehensive design resources that support our cutting-edge process technologies. Silicon verified libraries (standard cells and I/Os) optimized to our technologies are available free-of-charge from several leading vendors. UMC has also worked internally and with third party partners to deliver an extensive portfolio of IP that are optimized for portability and cost. These range from fundamental IP such as cell and I/O libraries to more complex processor and application- specific standard cores. And, because silicon verification is such a critical issue for customers' deep sub-micron designs, UMC has launched the Silicon Shuttle multi-chip test wafer program. UMC also makes available SRAM memory compilers to support all of its mainstream processes. |

The increasing costs of designing into nanometer technologies means that first-time silicon success has become essential to meeting cost and time to market targets. UMC's design methodology is developed to help customers reach successful silicon in the shortest time possible by utilizing proven reference design flows, the latest design for manufacturing (DFM) solutions, and EDA tools correlated to UMC silicon from leading EDA vendors. The result is a reliable path to silicon that minimizes risk. |

Given the deep sub-micron design challenges that circuit designers are facing, UMC Reference Design Flows provide customers with EDA design methodologies that reduce time-to-market by enabling manufacturability. The UMC Reference Design Flows incorporate 3rd-party EDA vendor's baseline design flows to address issues such as timing closure, signal integrity, power consumption and design for manufacturability and adopt a hierarchical design approach built upon silicon validated process libraries. The UMC Reference Design Flows cover from RTL coding all the way to GDS-II generation and support Cadence, Magma, Mentor and Synopsys EDA tools. All of these tools have been correlated to UMC silicon and can be interchanged for added flexibility. |
