MEMSCAP/Mentor Graphics MEMS Solution: A Partnership Model

Major Features:

Mixed Technology Solution

MEMS Intellectual Properties

• Access to MEMSCAP expertise and Intellectual Properties (IP) in the Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) technologies

• Support for Mentor Graphics proven Mixed- Signal Design and Layout tools

• Access to the main MEMS foundries

• Model Generation Tools and Services

• System and Component Engineers Design Flows

• Dedicated support infrastructure from MEMSCAP and Mentor Graphics

Mentor Graphics Corporation offers a full range of Analog and Mixed Signal Solution into an integrated design environment such as AccuSimII™/Eldo™ and Continuum™. Applied to Telecommunication, Automotive or Aerospace and Biomedical system design, Mentor Graphics design solution enables system designers to fully leverage MEMS component behavioral models in HDL-A™ (soon into VHDL-AMS and Verilog-A standards) for system-level verification and manufacturability analysis with Opsim™/Aspire™. To extend this A/M-S simulation design flow, a complete physical design and extraction solution with ICstation™ and Calibre™/Xcalibre™ with parameterized layout generators of MEMS specific structures provide the productivity required for advanced products development.

MEMSCAP main area of business is the design and development of MEMS technology products (software and hardware). The company offers comprehensive solutions for system designers to fully leverage MEMS components for integration of new and more competitive functions within their systems, predominantly by providing customized and technology specific MEMS Engineering Kits, Model Generation Tools and Services and MEMS Intellectual Properties. MEMSCAP’s mission is to bridge the gap between foundries and EDA vendors to enable a full and low cost solution from concept to silicon.
