台灣再度成為3大電子設計自動化（Electronic Design Automation；EDA）業者角力戰場！繼新思（Synopsys）台灣研發中心擴編進度超前，益華（Cadence）在新任總經理張郁禮帶領下，規劃將台灣研發中心人員擴充1倍以上，全力搶攻台灣新思旗下客戶群並開發前端科技新興市場，誓言奪回市場寶座；據了解，明導（Mentor）同時也規劃第三季將設立台灣研發中心，並延攬台灣新思研發中心主管劉樂群領軍，3大EDA業者本土戰雲密佈！
; t# U; l0 V* N$ Q+ s% |
　益華目前除了5大產品平台：Incisive、Encounter、Virtuoso、Allegro及DFM外，每年更以龐大研發資源投入先端半導體技術設計，台灣行銷總監馮元掄表示，目前益華與各大晶圓廠包括整合元件（IDM）及晶圓代工業者、設備業者及設計公司共同合作的X-Architecture逐漸被市場接受，並從90奈米演進至65奈米製程技術，應用層面也從PC繪圖晶片擴散至網通領域；同時，益華積極與台面板廠共同開發SoP（System on Panel），將傳統SoC設計手法套用在面板系統電路設計上。

　不僅益華重新調整台灣市場策略轉趨積極，據了解，明導近期也展現台灣市場佈局大動作，不但延攬新思研發中心高階主管劉樂群，同時規劃在第三季宣佈設立台灣研發中心，也使得3大EDA業者在台灣研發中心已全數到齊。儘管新思全球營業額僅次於益華，不過，新思紮根台灣坐擁第一的位置，已成為益華、明導等業者亟力拿下的目標。

板主，這個問題包涵太大了，像是哪邊戰力強，如果是問Analog這塊的話，我會說是Cadence。如果是Digital那我就會投Synopsys.

創意電子採用Encounter數位設計實現系統在台積16奈米FinFET Plus製程完成首件量產設計定案
  W' O* T6 y; Z) U, c3 W3 VCadence數位解決方案協助創意電子提升2倍系統效能並完成1.8億邏輯閘SoC設計

3 _0 {# q' r6 c2 k台灣新竹(2014年10月21日) -全球電子設計創新領導廠商益華電腦(Cadence Design Systems, Inc.) (NASDAQ: CDNS)與彈性客製化IC領導廠商(Flexible ASIC LeaderTM)創意電子(GLOBAL UNICHIP CORP.，GUC)宣布，創意電子在台積電16nm FinFET Plus (16FF+)製程上，採用Cadence® Encounter®數位設計實現系統完成首件高速運算ASIC的設計定案(tape-out)。創意電子結合16FF+製程的效能優勢並採用Cadence數位解決方案，可讓這個ASIC的操作時序提升18%、且功耗減少28%，在其應用的系統上更可以達到兩倍的效能。

創意電子運用Encounter數位設計實現系統解決16FF+的設計實現挑戰，包括雙重曝光和FinFET設計規則檢查(DRC)、時序和電流變異性，以及處理量要求。Encounter系統還能提供以下優點：

: h/ U9 M' r8 }2 I* G•        正確建構、完善的雙重曝光和涵蓋平面規劃、配置、以及繞線至電子和物理簽核的FinFET流程
* Z" ~1 q. x/ B' \  I4 _7 o•        與Cadence的Litho Physical Analyzer和CMP Predictor完美整合，達成可製造性設計(design for Manufacturing, DFM)
•        採用大量平行的多執行緒(Multi-threaded)GigaOpt和NanoRoute技術，有效掌控DRC規則和設計尺寸
•        改善SoC效能和功耗的GigaOpt先進晶片內變異(advanced on chip variation, AOCV)和佈線導向設計
& g! K+ l: F- I5 T$ O' A* }
• 創意電子總經理賴俊豪表示：「創意電子身為ASIC設計的先鋒，我們必須要能及時將非常複雜的設計提交給客戶，Cadence的工具和團隊在這方面提供了充分的協助。Cadence在台積電先進製程的豐富經驗讓我們選擇與Cadence共同研發旗下設計。在完成這首次16FF+產品設計定案前，我們也已經運用Cadence方案完成數個16nm測試晶片並且獲得非常好的量測結果。藉由Cadence與創意電子團隊的通力合作，我們才能達成在3個月完成1.8億邏輯閘生產設計定案的目標。」
