Fractal Technologies is a privately held company with offices in San Carlos, California and Eindhoven, the Netherlands. The company was founded by a small group of highly recognized EDA professionals.

The scope of Fractal Technologies is to check concistency and validate all different dataformats used in your design and subsequently improve the Quality of your Standard Cell Libraries, IO and IP

Fractal Technologies offers Crossfire software as well as services and customization.

What we can do for you

Library/IP Validation report

Fractal Tech will perform all the validation needed to insure a robust Library/IP and will provide a report to its customers.

Library/IP Design Flow checks consolidation and extension

Fractal Tech will deliver any type of scripts/code that its customers need to consolidate or extend their actual Design Flow checks. For examples:

  • Analyzing characterization data in liberty files.
  • Visualizing data in liberty files
  • Perform customer specific layout checks. E.g. Positions of pins.
  • ... more

Crossfire-lib Software

Fractal Technologies is able to deliver crossfire-lib software and licenses to its customers, and will support them in their set up and usage effort. For new checks/feature requirement, Fractal Tech will offer it services to build these on top of the API of Crossfire-lib.

  • Does the boundary match the cell statements (dimension/origin)
  • Check for ½ design rule distance at the boundary
  • Is the boundary layer on the top-level
  • Text hierarchy (e.g. cell text on top-level, pins on top-level…)
  • ...
  • Others

    • Time stamp check
    • ...
    • Many checks can be created on demand

Crossfire

View mismatches or modeling errors for Libraries or IP can seriously delay an IC design project.

Crossfire helps CAD teams and IC designers in performing integrity validation for Libraries and IP. Crossfire makes sure that the information represented in the various views is consistent across the views and does not contain anomalies originating from e.g. failing characterization scripts.
