Physical Design

Converting RTL into High-Performance, Manufacturable Silicon

Our Physical Design services transform validated RTL and synthesized netlists into optimized physical layouts ready for tape-out. We deliver end-to-end backend implementation, focused squarely on achieving performance, power, area, and timing objectives while safeguarding physical manufacturability.

Our engineers operate across the full implementation flow - from synthesis and floorplanning through placement, clock tree synthesis, routing, and sign-off closure - to deliver a tape-out-ready design with confidence.

Physical design methodology

A measured path from netlist to manufacturable layout.

Every implementation decision is shaped by the interaction between timing, power, area, signal integrity, and physical reliability.

PPA-driven implementation

We balance performance, power, and area from synthesis through sign-off, keeping implementation decisions tied to measurable silicon objectives.

Closure through the full flow

Floorplanning, placement, CTS, routing, and analysis are managed as one connected flow so issues are found early and resolved with context.

Manufacturability at tape-out

Physical checks, reliability analysis, ECOs, and sign-off support build confidence in a clean, manufacturable layout database.
