Hybrid Integration - JePPIX

• Approach of consortium:
– Not a collection of technical capabilities & tools available for use
– Not a demonstration of the functional creativity achievable with PICs
– A collection of standard design cells that are stabilized by reasonably
high volume commercial products
• Provide end-user CAD tool interface based on combination of
physics-based & parametric modeling of standard design cells and
performance of their combined circuit functionality
• Capability will therefore be somewhat limited at first
– “Foundry design cells” (cells that can be realistically extracted and reused
AS-IS from commercial products
– plus –
What are the Goals
– “Research design cells” (best effort basis, initially no sustainable forces
to maintain stability)
