Functional Analysis Report – Basic

Attention: open in a new window. PrintE-mail

Chipworks' Functional Analysis reports focus on a device's floor plan and block level functionality, to give you an architectural understanding of the die. This knowledge, in conjunction with basic process information, can then be used as a benchmarking tool to perform a high level cost analysis.

A basic functional analysis includes a basic look at the layout to learn node and architecture. It is used to determine if further analysis is warranted, and to keep tabs on a large number of competitors.

These reports contain the following detailed information:

  • Package photographs
  • Package x-ray
  • Depot (bare die) die photo
  • Metal 1 or polysilicon die photo
  • Digital, analog, and memory are annotated
  • Die size measurements
  • Cross section photo
  • Node assessment (metal 1 pitch, transistor measurements, ITRS assessment)
  • IC cost estimate
