Blaze DFM Signs Agreement with Korean Distributor Daou Xilicon
Blaze and Daou Xilicon Partner to Introduce Electrical DFM Solutions to Korea
Sunnyvale, Calif., – December 3, 2007 – Blaze DFM, the electrical DFM company, today announce the signing of Daou Xilicon to distribute Blaze electrical DFM products in Korea. This agreement formalizes the collaborative efforts between Blaze and Daou that resulted in a purchase by a major Korean semiconductor company of Blaze MO™ leakage power optimization software.
“Leakage power has become one of the primary design considerations in advanced semiconductor devices manufactured with 90nm and 65nm processes,” said Dr. Sancho Park, President & CEO at Daou Xilicon. “Blaze MO offers a unique approach to reducing leakage power that results in significant double-digit savings without requiring extensive changes to existing design flows.”
Blaze was the first pure play DFM company to deliver working silicon in March 2006. Blaze created the market for electrical DFM solutions addressing challenges such as leakage power and variability, process variation, chemical mechanical planarization, and lithography simulation and analysis. Blaze provides a comprehensive suite of electrical DFM products that maximize parametric yield of designs implemented with 90nm and below process technologies. Today, Blaze customers include leading companies in all major semiconductor technology regions in the world.
