The IC layout market will continue to fare well in the face of poor<br />

global economic performance and total EDA software sales. Dataquest<br />

believes that the need to place increasing system functionality at the<br />

silicon level will fuel moderate growth rates. In addition, the opportunity<br />

to migrate IC layout technologies to mainstream ASIC <strong>design</strong>ers<br />

via floorplanning tedrmologies should help spur growth in the mid-<br />

1990s.<br />
