The advent of sub-wavelength process has resulted in the growing tendency of ever larger LSI design data and a more complex design flow. Besides that, considering manufacturing process in design phase, DFM/RET is a demand to improve product quality and reduce time to market. Thus, a versatile standard layout platform that can be utilized throughout the design process is strongly desired.

LAVIS, featuring TOOL's original fast displaying and memory saving technology and various data format handling, dramatically optimizes your design flow and hardware investment.

GDSII, OASIS and LEF/DEF format files as well as commercial E-beam/JOB format files are supported allowing it to be used as a standard platform in a wide range of flow including design, verification, mask data preparation, inspection and failure analysis.

Features:

• Handling large scale data
  LAVIS is able to easily handle the largest of data files.  10 GB, 100 GB, and much larger size files are not a problem for the superior performance capacity of LAVIS.
• Analysis features
  LAVIS is designed to enable the physical design team to have the utmost confidence in their design.  Besides extraordinarily high performance and capacity, LAVIS offers features such as Data Cuts, Overlay of multiple files, XOR engine, Job Deck comparison and analysis, Neutral tinting and grey scale imaging, DRC review, and user customization to enable interfaces to DRC, dummy metal fill, and other physical design applications.
• Multi-format
  LAVIS supports GDSII Stream Format, LEF/DEF, Oasis, and multiple reticle formats, including MEBES, Hitachi, JEOL, and Toshiba.  it is also applicable to various design data such as EB file with Plug-in SDK.
• Multi-platform
  LAVIS provides equal operability in both EWS and PC environments.
• Superspeed/High efficiency
  LAVIS includes a high-speed display system with an efficient memory control system.  Compare the viewing to any other competitor to see who is the highest performer.
