Mentor Teams On Silicon Testing
Wilsonville, Oregon-based Mentor Graphics said today that the firm has reached a milestone with a semiconductor firm on IC manufacturing test and yield analysis efforts. According to Mentor, it has released its test software as part of a manufacturing test flow with NXP, the semiconductor spinout of Philips Electronics. Mentor said its products have been released to designers after a development, integration, and qualification project with NXP. The two have been partnered since last April on the effort. Mentor's software is used by semiconductor designers to develop and test their integrated circuits.
