QA verification
The COT department of a leading Fabless company incorporated the PQLab to verify their in-house extended PDKs by generating test patterns in batches, quickly and precisely identifying PDK quality issues, accelerating delivery efficiency, providing more reliable PDKs for circuit design, and significantly saving design verification time.
A leading Fab integrated PQLab as its preferred verification tool for PDK development, replacing their original internal script verification process. The tool's one-click PDK import feature and embedded multiple verification mechanisms automatically generate batches of test patterns, helping engineers quickly identify defects of PCell and accurately locate them through clear reports. By adopting a unified tool platform, the customer minimized the need for extensive engineer verification experience, mitigating the impact of individual engineer capabilities. This led to a substantial improvement in both the efficiency and quality of PDK verification overall.
