Ansys RaptorX: How to Create RaptorX Techfiles (Self-paced Learning Available)

Course Overview

This course will provide guidelines on enabling RaptorX, the Ansys silicon-optimized electromagnetic solver, for a particular foundry technology. This is achieved through a process configuration tool that runs in GUI and batch mode. All required steps to generate a RaptorX technology enablement will be covered through a hands-on example for a 16-metal process.

Prerequisites

  • Basic understanding of IC design flows and RaptorX. 
  • Some general familiarity with Process Design Kits.

Teaching Method

Slide presentation and computer practical sessions to validate acquired knowledge.
