Synopsys, Inc has launched the PrimeYield tool suite. Developed in close collaboration with customers and partners, the solution is built on production-baseline technology and manufacturing models used by the leading foundries and integrated device manufacturers (IDMs). PrimeYield gives designers improved control over the manufacturability of their advanced 65nm designs. In turn, manufacturers are able to improve process efficiencies and minimize yield loss. The result is accelerated time-to-production and time-to-market for leading-edge devices. PrimeYield gives designers a preview of the issues that will impact the manufacturability of their devices at 65nm and below, along with a quick and easy means of correcting them using links to design implementation. This gives designers the critical toolset to correct and modify the design before tapeout.

In addition to providing high accuracy, PrimeYield is tightly linked to design implementation. PrimeYield drives automatic correction within Synopsys' IC Compiler advanced physical implementation solution and accurate parasitic extraction within the Star-RCXTT tool.

Enhancements to the Star-RCXT extraction tool and the Synopsys PrimeTime static timing analysis tool were also announced further strengthening the link between design and manufacturing to help optimize yields at 65nm and below.

PrimeYield list pricing starts at $225,000 per module.
