Design Specification and Approval

• PGC shall perform the below processes to verify design files and develop the ASICs from files provided by CUSTOMER. Also CUSTOMER shall provide " 1MHz Test Pattern" to verify the function of the project during the simulation processes as shown below.
  1. PREVIEW DESIGN FILE from CUSTOMER.
  2. TSMC RULE CHECK for Design Rule and Delay Calculation
  3. PRE-SIMULATION after the SDF file creation
  4. FIRST SIGN-OFF by CUSTOMER if The Result is the same as done by CUSTOMER.
  5. LAYOUT (Placement and Routing)
  6. "C" Extraction
  7. Performs 1st POST-SIMULATION to Verify the Results
  8. "R, C" Extraction (0.35um,0.5um)
  9. Performs 2nd POST-SIMULATION to Verify the Results
  10. FINAL SIGN-OFF by CUSTOMER: if The Result is the same as done by CUSTOMER.
  11. DRC, LVS
  12. TAPE-OUT
  13. FABRICATION by TSMC
  14. PACKAGE and TEST
  15. SHIPMENT

   

• At the completion of each process as shown below PGC shall return data to CUSTOMER using the "1MHz Test Pattern " to approve the results of the work done. Should the result of any stage be considered unsatisfactory, CUSTOMER shall make corrections and resubmit to PGC.
  1. PRE-SIMULATION after the SDF file creation.
  2. 2nd POST-SIMULATION after the "R, C Extraction"
