L-Edit MEMS Provides Unsurpassed Capabilities for a Seamless MEMS Design Process to the Foundry

L-Edit Provides Significant Advantages to Mechanical Design Tools

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
