Quartz RC

Quartz™ RC is a 3D full-chip parasitic extractor and a key component of the Sign-off in the Loop™ ecosystem. When used in conjunction with Magma RTL-to-GDSII design flow, it provides a correct-by-construction flow with the accuracy of QuickCap.™

Enables an accurate, correct-by-construction timing and noise optimization flow for the integrated Sign-off in the Loop ecosystem.
Eliminates re-spins by accurately predicting silicon behavior with an average error rate of less than 2 percent compared to QuickCap.
3D capacitance rules leveraging QuickCap enhance the accuracy and robustness of Quartz RC.
Easy to use and includes a tight integration with QuickCap for critical net extraction, combines the speed of a full-chip extractor and the accuracy of a 3D extractor to improve chip performance.
Supports advanced 65-nm process requirements such as in-die process variations, optical and copper effects, and complex dielectric stack-ups.
