"Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced that TSMC has completed the certification for its most advanced 10-nanometer (nm) FinFET v1.0 technology node for a suite of Synopsys' digital, signoff and custom tools anchored by its IC Compiler™ II place and route solution. With multiple production designs already underway by early adopters of 10-nm, the certification paves the way for wide usage across the broad IC Compiler II installed base, enabling mutual customers to derive the maximum benefit from the new technology node. In addition, TSMC has already reached the first milestone of certification of IC Compiler II and related implementation tools for the latest design rule manual (DRM) and SPICE model of the 7-nm process node, allowing mutual customers to initiate early design activity."
