Complete Custom IC Design Environment

Empyrean Aether™ provides a schematic capture and layout development environment for full-custom IC design, empowering designers to create advanced custom integrated circuits.

Empyrean Aether™ Schematic Editor (Aether™ SE) is a comprehensive schematic design environment within Empyrean Aether™. Aether SE enhances design productivity with features such as real-time ERC checking, net highlighting, schematic-to-schematic comparison, and simulation annotation capabilities that enable designers to define additional simulator measurements and extract more results beyond those available in a standard simulation flow. 

Empyrean Aether™ Layout Editor (Aether™ LE) provides comprehensive capabilities for accelerating hierarchical custom layout design. Aether LE supports both custom and schematic-driven layout methodologies, along with fly lines, dimming, ECO checking, and schematic-driven verification. Built on the OpenAccess standard data format, Aether LE supports industry-standard iPDKs.
 
As a custom AMS design environment, Empyrean Aether™ seamlessly integrates the Empyrean ALPS® family of simulators, the Empyrean Argus™ physical verification platform, and the Empyrean RCExplorer™ parasitic extraction solution, delivering a smooth and highly efficient design flow that reduces risk and accelerates time-to-market.
