Complete Custom IC Design Environment

Empyrean Aether provides a full-custom IC schematic and layout design environment that empowers designers to create cutting-edge custom ICs.

Empyrean Aether Schematic Editor (Empyrean Aether SE) is the design environment for custom design. Aether SE enhances design productivity and supports real-time ERC checking, net highlighting, schematic vs schematic, and simulation note text to set more simulator operators for extra results than a normal simulation flow.

Empyrean Aether Layout Editor (Empyrean Aether LE) tool provides a comprehensive set of tools to accelerate hierarchical custom layouts. Empyrean Aether LE supports both custom and schematic-driven layouts, fly lines, dimming, ECO checks, and checks from the schematic. Aether LE is based on the OpenAccess standard data format and supports the industry-standard iPDKs.

As a custom AMS design environment, Empyrean Aether seamlessly integrates the Empyrean ALPS suite of simulators, physical verification Empyrean Argus, and parasitic extraction tool Empyrean RCExplorer to provide a smooth, highly efficient flow that reduces risk and improves time-to-market.
