MEMSCAP/Mentor Graphics MEMS Solution A
Partnership Model
Major Features

• Access to MEMSCAP expertise and Intellectual
• Properties (IP) in the Micro-Electro-Mechanical
  
• System (MEMS) technologies
• Support for Mentor Graphics proven Mixed-
• Signal Design and Layout tools
• Access to the main MEMS foundries
• Model Generation Tools and Services
• System and Component Engineers Design Flows
• Dedicated support infrastructure from MEMSCAP
• and Mentor Graphics

MEMSCAP main area of business is the design and
development of MEMS technology products (software
and hardware). The company offers comprehensive
solutions for system designers to fully leverage
MEMS components for integration of new and more
competitive functions within their systems,
predominantly by providing customized and
technology specific MEMS Engineering Kits, Model
Generation Tools and Services and MEMS
Intellectual Properties. MEMSCAPs mission is to
bridge the gap between foundries and EDA vendors
to enable a full and low cost solution from
concept to silicon.
Mixed Technology Solution
Mentor Graphics Corporation offers a full range
of Analog and Mixed Signal Solution into an
integrated design environment such as
AccuSimII/Eldo and Continuum. Applied to
Telecommunication, Automotive or Aerospace and
Biomedical system design, Mentor Graphics design
solution enables system designers to fully
leverage MEMS component behavioral models in
HDL-A (soon into VHDL-AMS and Verilog-A
standards) for system-level verification and
manufacturability analysis with Opsim/Aspire.
To extend this A/M-S simulation design flow, a
complete physical design and extraction solution
with ICstation and Calibre/Xcalibre with
parameterized layout generators of MEMS specific
structures provide the productivity required for
advanced products development.
