Magma Design Automation Inc., a provider of chip design solutions, and the EDA center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) today announced the signing of a joint agreement to establish the Nanotechnology Integrated Circuit Design Lab.
Under this agreement the lab will develop and provide advanced integrated circuit (IC) design solutions for nanometer technologies based on Magma's integrated RTL-to-GDSII flow. These solutions will be used in CAS' education programs, research projects and commercial applications, which aim to increase the availability of advanced IC design capabilities in China.
In addition to providing design solutions, Magma and CAS will work together to promote advanced nanotechnology IC design capabilities, establish an education program for CAS' master's and Ph.D. students, and explore nanotechnology design projects with domestic and international organizations.
