(a) Deck Development

The Millridge Associates Inc., deck development service delivers a validated and documented rule deck for a specific process technology. We validate the deck against either a customer-provided layout or test bench, or we can create custom test benches to suit. To simplify rule file maintenance, the deck incorporates documentation of the development process.

(b) Deck Audit and Optimization

A deck audit is a highly comprehensive review of your rule decks for accuracy and efficiency. We deliver a detailed report that highlights areas where improvements are necessary to ensure deck integrity and optimal performance. On deck optimization services, we focuse on improving the overall run time of a rule deck without sacrificing accuracy. We deliver an identically functional deck which runs more efficiently. Areas in which we make improvements include eliminating redundant rules, re-coding time-consuming rules, and ensuring the most efficient use of tool features.
