OpenAccess Industry Standard Application Programming Interface (API)
An industry-driven standard database API for physical-design tools providing direct access to user’s designs
– Integrate the world’s most widely-used design database into your design tools
– Propose new features for the core API and reference implementation
– Collaborate on extending the functionality of the database
An industry-driven standard database API for physical-design tools providing direct access to user’s designs
Source code for the defacto-standard reference implementation–use it for internal tool development or integrate it into new vendor design tools
Extend the functionality of the database with oaScript, Polygon Operators, and other extensions in development
Access to online education and training, complete with tutorials on database programming, compiling, and extensions
Benefit from cost-effective industry funding used to standardize best-in-breed compact (SPICE) models
Expert developers at the University of California-Berkeley, the University of Hiroshima, the University of California-San Diego, Auburn University and CEA-Leti keep the industry’s standard models relevant and bug-free
Member-only scripts are used for testing model implementation results against the developer’s reference results
Quarterly face-to-face meetings with other CMC members and developers help to further learning and continuously improve the models
An agile structure allows timely and relevant projects to be taken on under a one-dues model
Existing working groups include: Design for Manufacturability, Vendor-neutral Process Design Kits, Silicon Photonics, Chip-Package CoDesign, and Low Power
Si2’s secure collaboration portal allows working group members to actively share timely and relevant information to efficiently complete their goals
By completing a new working group request showing industry support, new OpenStandards activities can be quickly approved, and once the project has ended, ramped-down with the results passed onto members, a cooperating standards organization, or other Si2 groups, including production standards areas
