Unique combination of design and manufacturing tools will accelerate lithography qualification and improve chip yields
Applied Materials, Inc. and Magma Design Automation, Inc. announced today that they have integrated Magma’s CAD (computer-aided design)-based navigation and yield analysis software with Applied’s advanced inspection systems. This unique combination of design and manufacturing tools has accelerated lithography qualification and improved chip yields at multiple customers for the development and production of advanced technology nodes.
