Plan Ahead for Yield

As a system design house focusing on network products, Cisco is facing similar challenges as the industry in our silicon design practice. Time to market and quality of products are the two key drivers. To achieve our goal, our design practice is no longer limited to RTL design and GDSII tape-out. We are engaged in each stage of a silicon design and production cycle, from library selection, design implementation, production, test development and yield optimization.
