Physical Design & Signoff
At Terusemitech, we specialize in advanced technology nodes such as 3nm, 5nm, and beyond, ensuring optimal power, performance, and area (PPA) for semiconductor designs.
Our subject matter experts bring deep expertise in physical design flows and methodologies, enabling seamless execution from floor planning to signoff. We focus on minimizing design iterations by ensuring compliance with foundry-specific DRC, LVS, and ERC requirements, helping our clients achieve a faster time to market with highly efficient and manufacturable designs.
