ASIC Design Flow

This document discusses Mentor Graphics CAD tools for ASIC design including ICFlow2008.1 for custom and standard cell designs. It also discusses Mentor Graphics ASIC Design Kits which provide technology files, standard cell libraries, and support files for simulation, synthesis, design for test, and physical design for processes including AMI 0.5um and TSMC 0.35um, 0.25um, and 0.18um. Finally, it mentions the typical ASIC design flow involves simulation, synthesis, design for test, and physical design steps.
