There is increasing consumer demand for semiconductors with more functionality, lower cost and shorter time to market. Small feature sizes are enabling exponential increases in the transistor counts. While the manufacturing technology is there to support higher transistor count chips, the design technology has fallen behind. The number of available transistors is growing faster than the ability to meaningfully design them within the cost and time constraints as desired by the market. This is being commonly referred to as the “design productivity gap”.
