  8. Blue Chip Customers

  9. Magma Alliances: Foundation to Address Time-To-Market SMIC

  10. From RTL to TSMC Silicon • Mutual customers: Broadcom, Vitesse, Internet Machines, PhyWorks, Sony, Hitachi, Panasonic, etc. • Strong partnership for 90nm integration Customer’s RTL and Constraints Integrated COT Methodology Fab TSMC’s Libraries and Technology Rules 0.15 um, 0.13um, 90nm

  11. Why TSMC Chose Magma • “Magma can integrate TSMC process-tuned libraries with their proven EDA tools to improve faster time to volume.” - Genda Hu, VP of Marketing, TSMC • Magma worked closely with TSMC to: • Validate TSMC’s library in Magma’s design environment • Benchmark TSMC libraries • Ensure that Magma software supports TSMC manufacturing rules for 0.15m, 0.13m and 90nm • Complex design rules, via farm rules, metal rules, multi Vt cells • TSMC partnered with the industry’s best to provide high quality libraries

  12. Magma ‘Ready For IBM Technology’ • Magma approved with validated Reference Flow for 0.13um and 0.18um technologies including Blast Create and Blast Fusion • Artisan libraries for 8SF and 7SF processes fully qualified • Joint customers include: 3DLabs, Vitesse, Intersil, Thomson Multi-Media, Clearspeed, etc.

  13. Partnership Roadmap • Faraday is a close partner of UMC that provides: • Design services from RTL to GDS • Libraries and IPs • Tapeout services and product engineering services • Their own standard products using their own IP manufactured by UMC • Magma – Faraday/UMC partnership roadmap consists of three implementation phases • Mutual customers: Faraday, Intersil, AMCC, etc. Library Qualification LAVA Flow Adoption LAVA Flow Rollout IP Qualification IP Promotion Advanced Technology Support
