When Tapeout review, need check what?

[billjoy]

ask a stupid question,
Normaly in Tapeout review, need check what?

 

[funzero]

1. all documents are well written.
2. DRC LVS check pass
3. post layout simulation pass
4. STA pass
at least above 4 steps.

What "STA" stands for?

 

[feel_on_on]

static timing analysise

I think there is also a need of pass in formal verification of any modification or ECO in the netlist....hope this is heplful...

hi,
I think tapeout review is not focused on STA, but just focus on LVS/DRC/ERC. and of course check the gdsII mapping.

doesnt tape out check the design correctness.. makin use of random input chjeckin with the output.. i mean check the logical correctnesss of our design.. u have to verify ur datahseet after the tapeout, i mean cross check them. add scanflops or scan cells.. somethin like that in order to correct wrong outputs.. somethin of that sorts.. STA is also very important..if u go thru MAGMA design flow you wud understand the basics.. i guess magma is one tool which has a comprahensive rtl to gds II format..

with regards,

post layout simulation = lec + sta,post layout need more time

1) check IO pad's tiiming.

2) check static timing analysis's result.

3) check clock tree's skew.

4) check layout for latchup and antenna.

5) check dft.
