The IP Is Important For IC Technique

As an important chain of the of IC design industry chain, the supply of the EDA drives the advanced technology. With the continuous improvement of technical level, the EDA will face more new challenges. Firstly, the cost of design is becoming higher and higher. The largest cost comes from the software and certification, which should be solved by the EDA supplier and Foundry together; Second, the software and certification time takes of the of the process, which needs to be improved; third is the low power consumption.

According to the newest statement, the integrated circuit with 65nm technique, which is applied by the Chinese customers, takes twenty-eight percent of their entire chips in the year of 2009. The technique, which is more than 65nm, can reach thirty percent in this year, and the technique, which is more than 65nm, takes sixty-four percent of the entire chips. This data has shows that the design level of the Chinese integrated circuit is improving continuously, but it is still facing the challenges. Experts maintain that there are three aspects of challenges in Chinese integrated circuit design. Firstly, it needs a better IP; secondly, make the time to be listed short; thirdly, the cost should be low. Currently, there is no large-scale integrated circuit company in China. The scale of their companies will larger and larger in the future five to ten years, and they will enter for the competition globally.

The IC techniques are changing day by day from the transistor to Soc. Every technical wave means the new challenge. How to develop in the SoC era? First is to emphasize the application of IP. The IP technique develops fastest in 2010, which is able to reduce the cost and shorten the listed time; secondly, fifty percent of the chips are the memory, twenty percent of the chips are the IP; third is to emphasize the power consumption. The related integrated circuit is P6448.
