Physical Design

Optimized placement, routing, and performance tuning.

Transforming Logic into Silicon-Ready Precision

Physical Design (PnR) is the stage where your verified netlist is transformed into a manufacturable layout, considering performance, power, and area constraints. At MinanoSpace, our Physical Design team specializes in place-and-route for advanced-node ASICs and SoCs, ensuring timing closure, DRC/LVS compliance, and optimal utilization of silicon resources.

At MinanoSpace, We integrate clock tree synthesis (CTS), routing, and optimization techniques to achieve high-performance designs while minimizing area and power consumption. Our team works closely with synthesis, DFT, and STA teams to ensure a seamless handoff and efficient design flow.

By implementing robust physical design methodologies, we help clients achieve faster time-to-market, improved yield, and designs ready for tape-out with minimal iterations.

...
Placement Optimization

Optimize standard cell placement for timing, congestion, and routability, ensuring minimal path delays and efficient silicon utilization.

...
Clock Tree Synthesis & Routing

Design balanced clock trees, minimize skew, and perform high-quality routing to meet timing and signal integrity requirements.

...
DRC/LVS Compliance

Ensure that all layouts follow foundry design rules, verified with Design Rule Check (DRC) and Layout vs. Schematic (LVS) validation.

Why Physical Design Matters

Physical Design is crucial because even a fully verified netlist can fail in silicon if placement, routing, or clock networks are poorly implemented. Timing violations, congestion, and signal integrity issues can increase re-spin risks and impact yield.

MinanoSpace’s Physical Design flow ensures that layouts meet strict performance, area, and power goals. By applying advanced placement, routing, and optimization techniques, we minimize design risks and ensure smooth transition to tape-out and manufacturing.
