ABSTRACT
Over the last 20 years, electronic design has grown to annual revenues of $3B per year and dominates the Technical and Systems Sector of the Software Industry. Cadence and Synopsys are among the top 20 independent software vendors when ranked by market capitalization. In short, the EDA industry has come of age, but the future of the industry is far from certain.

EDA vendor adoption
ASP-DAC '06: Proceedings of the 2006 Asia and South Pacific Design Automation ConferenceAs stated in the introduction to the Open Access session, rapid IC technology advances towards deep sub-micron technologies produce ever growing pressure on EDA Vendors. This is evident when examining the requirements to support 65nm and 45nm IC ...
Logic Gate Failure Characterization for Nanoelectronic EDA Tools
DFT '10: Proceedings of the 2010 IEEE 25th International Symposium on Defect and Fault Tolerance in VLSI SystemsAs semiconductor process geometries shrink to nanometer regime, the transistors and interconnects become exceedingly susceptible to failure due to their physical limitations. Implementing a resilient circuit using imperfect nanoelectronic devices, such ...
