Every semiconductor company and for that matter, every technology company constantly juggle a number of designs that are at different stages of development. To handle the numerous challenges, semiconductor companies in particular need to define a design workflow management system whose mechanisms adopt to a number of design and business models and can resolve the challenges of working on multiple designs from multiple locations.
Design collaboration (Figure 1) is the obvious but sometimes difficult given growing design complexity. Design teams and team members are located in different geographical regions and face complex design, data management and flow integration challenges. A tradeoff between schedule and quality is the major concern.
