Design Rule Checking (DRC) catches design errors BEFORE manufacturing
-
Save on external foundry costs per run – Don’t risk having to pay for materials and services more than once
-
Save on internal labor costs – Keep the wheels in motion and focus resources onto the next project by not having to revisit errors and invest a second time on redesign, production coordination, and management
-
Don’t delay time to market – Production rescheduling and the manufacturing process will postpone turnaround and ROI
Automation speeds up the design process
-
Enhanced Boolean operations eliminate manual steps
-
Parameterized cell capabilities automate changes
-
Hierarchical structure speeds operations
-
Ability to write macros in C allows customizable automation
Usability allows designers to jump right in and work faster and easier
-
Complete layer visualization allows viewing of overlapping polygons, curves, and other geometries
-
Boolean operations ease mechanical reliefs and DRIE curved etch patterns while maintaining the actual design geometries on separate layers
Tanner EDA MEMS tools: Built for Innovation

Tanner offers two packages for MEMS designers; L-Edit MEMS and L-Edit MEMS Design. Both tools are built off of our acclaimed L-Edit layout editor and offer advanced features and functionality that is tailored to the unique requirements of MEMS designers.
L-Edit MEMS Design provides the same capabilities and functionality of our L-Edit MEMS package – and adds our Standard DRC tool for those designers requiring design rule checking.
