Over the past two years there has been a surge in demand for a comprehensive link between MEMS design tools and leading mixed signal/analog IC design tools. This market pull is due to the consumerisation of MEMS, moving from automotive, inkjet and DLP applications to smart phones, gaming devices and other human machine interface products. MEMS are becoming ubiquitous in consumer electronics, with a market forecast expected to grow from $6B to $49B over the next 10 years. In this rapidly changing environment, emerging fabless design houses and pure MEMS foundries require information exchange from system level simulation tools combining both MEMS and IC design.
CEMMNT partner, Coventor, the leading developer of MEMS design-automation software, recently announced the release of its new MEMS+ product design platform, which intelligently integrates with leading IC design software within a common environment. With a reduction in design entry time, faster simulation speeds, and compatibility with existing IC design tools, MEMS+ now enables non-MEMS specialists to design MEMS devices into their own products.
To explore the challenges and benefits of MEMS+IC simulation further, and provide an in-depth insight into the new MEMS+ design software, CEMMNT and partner company Coventor, co-hosted an exclusive three-day event entitled, Measurement and Design Tools for Future MEMS & IC Integration in March 2010. The event on Wednesday 10th March 2010 focused on a series of presentations and discussions from leading experts in the field, with the 11th March offering an exclusive free-of-charge hands-on workshop focusing on the new MEMS+ platform. Due to the high demand for places, an additional date was added to the original two-day format, with a second MEMS+ training date added for the 9th March. With delegates from across the UK and Europe in attendence, the event provided delegates with an excellent opportunity to network and discover more about the growing range of applications and benefits of MEMS design.
Coventor's next MEMS event...
Following the success of the recent MEMS+ event held in the UK, CEMMNT partner, Coventor, have announced a further MEMS+ event will take place in Paris (France) on 17th-18th May 2010. The event entitled Essential Tools for MEMS & IC Systems will include exclusive presentations from Schlumberger, STMicroelectronics, Coventor, and Cadence Design Systems...
