Chip complexity has grown more than 1,000 times since the last major innovation in front-end design technology. This has intensified the challenges for design teams producing silicon with more than 250M transistors. More challenges will follow for teams working on SoCs of similar complexity. Back-end retooling issues for designs of 130 nm geometries and smaller have been studied widely, and suitable EDA products are now available. But, the front-end has received much less focus on its importance for design closure.
