Electronic Components, Nick Flaherty

Design tool developer Coventor is aiming at the process and integration challenges of 28nm and beyond with the latest version of its 3D software.

Already used widely for designing micromachined (MEMS) systems and memory structures, the technology is increasingly important for building 3D transistor structures at leading edge geometries.
SEMulator3D 2012 adds 64bit support and increased capacity, speed and automation advancements to accelerate development of leading-edge process technology nodes.

Reaching the advanced semiconductor process nodes at 22-nanometer and beyond requires accurate three-dimensional (3-D) models of the proposed physical structures to obviate the need for repeated trial-and-error design cycles. In fact, the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors has designated modeling 3D physical structures as a “grand challenge” at advanced processing nodes.

Coventor’s Stephen Breit Highlighted as Featured Speaker at MEPTEC MEMS Symposium

Posted in: Coventor Blog, Upcoming Events by Marketing | No Comments Tuesday, March 27, 2012

Coventor’s Stephen Breit will be one of the featured speakers at the upcoming MEPTEC MEMS Technology Symposium.  Dr. Breit, who is V.P. of Engineering at Coventor,  will speak about realizing the full potential of MEMS design automation software.  It’s a topic he knows quite a bit about as he has headed up the research and development of Coventor’s market-leading MEMS design software solutions for the past 15 years. Steve will draw upon that experience to make the case for engineers to use increased software-based automation and simulation tools in order to reduce time-consuming and costly build-and-test cycles.

The tenth annual MEMS Technology Symposium is being held in San Jose, California on May 23, 2012.  To celebrate a decade of success, this year’s discussions will be focused on how to jumpstart the next decade with a bold prediction: to grow the MEMS market to $1 trillion USD. read more…

Coventor Gets to Know MEMS Community in Israel

Posted in: Coventor Blog by Marketing | No Comments Thursday, March 22, 2012

On Tuesday March 12, Coventor hosted an informational seminar in Caesarea, Israel with the help of local MEMS company, Maradin, who provided very generous assistance in organizing the event, helping us choose a venue and bringing together a sizable portion of the Israeli MEMS community.

It turns out that much of the current MEMS effort in Israel has its origin in a government sponsored program during the 2000-2004 timeframe. Since then, MEMS technology has taken on a life of its own. Representatives of all types of organizations were present, including a number of MEMS start-up companies with innovative new product concepts, semiconductor foundries, an ASIC design services firm, a packaging services firm, an integrated device manufacturer (IDM), and defense systems integrators. Not surprisingly, considering that Israel is a relatively small country, many of these firms have connections with each other already.
