POLYTEDA PowerDRC/LVS and PVCLOUD Qualified for
TowerJazz TS18 Platform
Cloud-based physical verification solution reduces design cycle
time, costs, and time to market for TowerJazz customers
KIEV, Ukraine, September 5, 2018 – POLYTEDA UKRAINE LLC, an innovator inphysical verification (PV) tools for the semiconductor industry, announced today
the completion of qualification for its products – classical desktop tool
PowerDRC/LVS and PVCLOUD, an advanced cloud-based physical verification
solution for TowerJazz, the global specialty foundry leader. Now IC designers
using TowerJazz’s 0.18nm platform have access to a fast, accurate and cloudready sign-off quality solution on a pay-per-use basis to dramatically reduce
design cycle time and benefit from reduced costs and faster time to market.

POLYTEDA’s PowerDRC/LVS enables rapid verification of new designs to ensure
accuracy prior to mask creation and manufacturing. It can process multiple
design rules and design layers simultaneously. In addition to superior processing
speed, PowerDRC/LVS can handle huge amounts of data -- up to tens of billions
of transistors.

“We worked with POLYTEDA CLOUD to create and QA runsets with sign-off
quality for our TS18 platform including CMOS image sensor, power management
and CMOS process technologies,” said Ofer Tamir, Design Enablement SeniorDirector at TowerJazz. “The cloud-based solution will give our mutual customers
another alternative to run physical verification using a pay-per-use concept,
which is unique.”“We are changing the EDA market as IС designers can now use PVCLOUD - ouradvanced cloud-based physical verification platform on a pay-per-use basis. It
is fast, accurate, and utilizes the customer’s current design environment topresent violations in a rational and organized way to quickly and easily validate
their layout prior to manufacturing,” said Alexander Grudanov, POLYTEDA Chief
Executive Officer. “We are pleased to have qualified our PV platform at
TowerJazz and look forward to further developing our productive and strategic
partnership.”
About POLYTEDAPOLYTEDA CLOUD was founded in 2015, developing cloud-ready PV-workflow
based on the fastest and most accurate flat engine in the market supporting
hierarchical and multi-CPU capabilities.
PowerDRC/LVS addresses the complex physical verification stage of microchip
design of a sign-off quality, which is a critical stage prior to manufacturing at a
semiconductor foundry. POLYTEDA CLOUD engineers have the superior
experience in developing high-end software for the microelectronics industry.
