Abstract

Many companies are ramping their usage of third party wafer foundries for the manufacture of their integrated circuits. As such, new demands of data management and handoff are required. Maintaining a digital record and designing a digital interface with our foundry partners is critical to optimize the tape out and ramp to manufacturing processes. This paper describes the current development of Agere System's 'Foundry Data eXchange' system, which puts structure and consistency around the design data transfer and tape out process. The system streamlines the tapeout process and yields a consistent platform for all data handling. This will lead to greater efficiency and accuracy, saving time during the data handoff. In addition, the system lays the groundwork for the future application of an electronic data handoff with foundry partners.
