Using Sonnet in a Cadence Virtuoso Design Flow

The plug-in integration of the Sonnet Professional analysis program into the Cadence

Virtuoso layout environment allows Cadence users to perform accurate EM modelling on

selected Virtuoso cells, for physical verification of critical components and

interconnections. This plug-in solution allows designers to extract a Sonnet EM analysis

cell view directly from the layout view. Simulation results can be easily back annotated to

the Cadence schematic.

High precision electromagnetic (EM) analysis with Sonnet complements the traditional RC

extraction tools. With Sonnet, simulation results include all physical effects like coupling,

skin effect, proximity effect, surface waves and radiation. While traditional RC extraction

tools like Cadence Assura are optimised to handle full chip extraction, Sonnet analysis is

most suitable to rigorously analyze individual components, interconnects and smaller parts

of a layout with very high confidence.

With Sonnet, you can replace legacy 3D finite element solvers, which are often not

integrated into the Cadence design flow and require cumbersome and error prone manual

modelling and data transfer.
