Seamless design flow IntelliSuite contains a wide range of closely integrated tools to seamlessly go from schematic capture and optimization to design verification and tapeout. A flexible design flow allows you to start your design at either schematic, layout or 3D level. IntelliSuite consists of a number of advanced tools that work together. For instance, Synple allows you to capture your MEMS at a schematic level, much like SPICE for electrical circuits. Your design can then be quickly iterated and optimized at different granularities. Sophisticated synthesis algorithms can automatically convert your schematic into mask layout, 3D or better yet a meshed structure for full multiphysics analysis. Blueprint, is a physical design tool that incorporates advanced layout, design rule check, cross-section exploration, and automated mask to hex mesh capabilities. CleanRoom process suite allows you to create and debug your process flow and your mask set before you enter the clean room. It allows you to make virtual prototypes to save costly fabrication mistakes. Advanced Fastfield Multiphysics tools feature fully coupled electrostatic, mechanical, fluidic, and electromagnetic engines.

So, whatever your process engineering goals maybe, our process-specific tools will help you achieve them. Systems - made simple IntelliSense enables electrical and system engineers to create and simulate complex MEMS models with exceptional ease. Thanks to SYNPLE, MEMS system design is as fundamental as dragging and dropping, and wiring the schematic. In addition, EDA Linker automatically generates high fidelity HDL (Verilog, VHDL, Simulink or SPICE) models of the MEMS and package to fit your favorite Mixed Signal simulator from Cadence, Mentor, Synopsys, Mathworks or Tanner. Wrap it up! As a packaging engineer, IntelliSense offers you tools for thermal, mechanical and high-frequency modeling of your devices. Parametric scripting capabilities allow you to effortlessly create a range of packages, such as SOICs, DIPs, QFPs etc. What's more, wafer-level encapsulation and related stress analyses may be performed with ease. As a result, you can wrap up your projects quickly and efficiently! Ace the test Working together, IntelliSuite and SYNPLE give test engineers a straightforward method for creating parametric test structures and design of experiments (DoE) during the layout process. What's more, our analysis and system simulation tools allow you to perform a vast subset of MIL-STD (750/883), JEDEC (JESD22) and Telcordia (Belcore) tests in software before the actual fabrication. For success in your next test, turn to IntelliSuite! IntelliSenses software architecture is based upon a unique combination of the best of bottom up process-driven design and top down synthesis. Top down methodology allows you to quickly explore a wide range of design options, while bottom up design provides the accuracy to produce first-time right silicon. The accurate bottom up process-driven design and top down schematic-driven synthesis are combined to get you to your designs faster and with less process iterations. From the Top, Down State-of-the-art schematic capture and simulation tools allow you to take a hierarchical approach to the design space. SYNPLE provides a large multi-domain library of electrical, mechanical, thermal, and MEMS libraries. These elements may be combined in an effortless drag-and-drop fashion and then wired to create schematics of multi-domain systems. As a result, you can quickly survey a large design space before initiating a detailed analysis and verification process. Users can perform device level optimization using Design of Experiments (DoE), Robust Design or other techniques. Mask and Hex Mesh Synthesis tools Built in place and route and synthesis algorithms can be then used to convert the schematic into a mask layout or an optimally hexahedral meshed model ready for full 3d analysis. From the Bottom, Up IntelliSuite's bottom up architecture is based upon process elements familiar process steps, such as photolithography, thin film deposition, selective etching form the basis of understanding the final device geometries. By systematically building the prototype in IntelliSuite, you can identify costly process bugs before entering the fab, which ultimately saves time and money. The process steps, combined with the mask geometries, can be used to build the final virtual device. Blueprint, an advanced layout and TapeOut all angle Physical Verification (DRC) tools allow you to layout complex masks with ease. Automated hexahedral meshing techniques can be used to construct robust meshes for analysis. Real-world connections IntelliSuite features a comprehensive material database, which allows you to understand material properties like conductivity, film stresses and mechanicall strength as a function of processing parameters. Subsequently, this enables you to produce more realistic models. Etching has always been a bugbear in MEMS technology. We've provided wet and dry etch simulators — a full anisotropic wet etch simulator for creating realistic models of your KOH, TMAH or EDP etches, and a dry etch simulator for simulating RIE/ICP and Bosch etch processes. Fastfield Multiphysics IntelliSuite comes with all the modules that you need to perform fully coupled thermal, electrostatic, fluidic and mechanical simulation and piezo simulation of the MEMS device. Optional modules for electromagnetic and fluidic/bioMEMS analysis are available. Out of the box, you can analyze almost any MEMS device that you can dream up! The IntelliSuite virtual device can be subjected to a combination of inputs, such as electrostatics, electromagnetic fields, temperature, mechanical stresses and pressures, and fluid flow. Compact Model Extraction IntelliSuite uses state-of-the-art model reduction techniques to automatically create compact system models from large finite element models. System models encompass coupled electro-mechanical behavior including stress stiffening, electrostatic softening, packaging effects, fluidic and other sources of damping. These accurate compact models can be exported to VHDL, Verilog-A, SPICE, Matlab and other tools for full MEMS-ASIC co-simulation.
