MEMSCAP/Mentor Graphics MEMS Solution:
A Partnership Model
Major Features:
• Access to MEMSCAP expertise and Intellectual
Properties (IP) in the Micro-Electro-Mechanical
System (MEMS) technologies
• Support for Mentor Graphics proven MixedSignal Design and Layout tools
• Access to the main MEMS foundries
• Model Generation Tools and Services
• System and Component Engineers Design Flows
• Dedicated support infrastructure from MEMSCAP
and Mentor Graphics
MEMS Intellectual Properties
MEMSCAP main area of business is the design and development of MEMS technology products
(software and hardware). The company offers comprehensive solutions for system designers to fully
leverage MEMS components for integration of new and more competitive functions within their systems,
predominantly by providing customized and technology specific MEMS Engineering Kits, Model
Generation Tools and Services and MEMS Intellectual Properties. MEMSCAP’s mission is to bridge the
gap between foundries and EDA vendors to enable a full and low cost solution from concept to silicon.
Mixed Technology Solution
Mentor Graphics Corporation offers a full range of Analog and Mixed Signal Solution into an integrated
design environment such as AccuSimII™/Eldo™ and Continuum™. Applied to Telecommunication,
Automotive or Aerospace and Biomedical system design, Mentor Graphics design solution enables
system designers to fully leverage MEMS component behavioral models in HDL-A™ (soon into VHDLAMS and Verilog-A standards) for system-level verification and manufacturability analysis with
Opsim™/Aspire™. To extend this A/M-S simulation design flow, a complete physical design and
extraction solution with ICstation™ and Calibre™/Xcalibre™ with parameterized layout generators of
MEMS specific structures provide the productivity required for advanced products development.
