High Performance Layout Visualization Platform


LAVIS, from design to manufacture, offers a standard platform empowered by breakthrough technologies for fast large data display with minimum memory.

Overview

The advent of sub-wavelength process has resulted in the growing tendency of ever larger LSI design data and a more complex design flow. Besides that, considering manufacturing process in design phase, DFM/RET is a demand to improve product quality and reduce time to market. Thus, a versatile standard layout platform that can be utilized throughout the design process is strongly desired.

LAVIS, featuring TOOL's original fast displaying and memory saving technology and various data format handling, dramatically optimizes your design flow and hardware investment.

GDSII, OASIS and LEF/DEF format files as well as commercial E-beam/JOB format files are supported allowing it to be used as a standard platform in a wide range of flow including design, verification, mask data preparation, inspection and failure analysis.

Features

  • Handling large scale data
    LAVIS is able to easily handle the largest of data files.  10 GB, 100 GB, and much larger size files are not a problem for the superior performance capacity of LAVIS.
  • Analysis features
    LAVIS is designed to enable the physical design team to have the utmost confidence in their design.  Besides extraordinarily high performance and capacity, LAVIS offers features such as Data Cuts, Overlay of multiple files, XOR engine, Job Deck comparison and analysis, Neutral tinting and grey scale imaging, DRC review, and user customization to enable interfaces to DRC, dummy metal fill, and other physical design applications.
  • Multi-format
    LAVIS supports GDSII Stream Format, LEF/DEF, Oasis, and multiple reticle formats, including MEBES, Hitachi, JEOL, and Toshiba.  it is also applicable to various design data such as EB file with Plug-in SDK.
