Xyalis is a relatively new company,
dedicated to solving new challenges for designers involved
in the last stages of chip finishing. Xyalis markets
a comprehensive software suite to address these new
challenges.
Xyalis' tools are necessary in the most
complex of designs, with database sizes in the
multi-GB range and significant deep submicron preparation
steps.
The Xyalis tool suite solves many SOC (system on
a chip) requirements that exist in a physical design
environment.
The
Xyalis R&D
team have developed tools that they would need in
processing complex chips, because
they have been there as technologists in some of the
larger IC businesses. The founders have over 30 years
cumulative experience in the semiconductor and EDA
industry with over 60% PhDs.

The
Xyalis tool set includes:
- GTtiler: enabling the designer
to more efficiently insert dummy tiles for better CMP
processing. [more]
- GTsmooth: a high-performance metal-fill
tool, with a hybrid approach of model-based method
and rules-based method, is used to insert tiles with
respect to design rules, and to keep computation time
and database size very low. GTsmooth minimizes the
number of inserted tiles to reduce induced parasitic
effects. [more]
- GTviewer: for when you need to
see the results of the manipulation of your GDSII Stream
file. GTviewer is a fast and easy-to-use tool to display
large layout databases. [more]
- GTmuch: a graphical tool dedicated
to floorplanning and assembly of multiple GDSII databases
for MCMs and MCPs. [more]
- GTmerge: an efficient and easy
to use tool to manipulate and merge large GDSII databases. [more]
- GTsuite: is a set of utilities
that every engineer working with large GDSII Stream
files should have at their disposal. With these tools,
you can check for file integrity, replace a single
cell, convert layers, extract any single cell from
a Stream file, generate a simple postscript file, and
convert to/from the well-known CIF format. [more]
