Summary : Aart de Geus: Chairman & CEO, Synopsys: Current Trends in EDA

Annexure :

EDA (Electronic Design Automation) has become the vortex of communication and execution across the semiconductor supply chain. The people who work in this industry deal with the atoms and electrons of the process and cross all the way to the system level. Find out from Aart de Geus why Synopsys is the center of gravity in these trends. Aart details the latest trends in Design For Manufacturing (DFM) and the role that they are playing to improve yield and how they improve designer productivity.
