November 24, 2009 (FinancialWire) — Magma(R) Design Automation Inc. (NASDAQ: LAVA), a provider of chip design software, announced that Quartz DRC and Quartz LVS will be deployed by Toshiba Corp. for flash memory designs.

Toshiba standardized on Magma’s physical verification products after validating their accuracy on 32-nanometer  designs. Quartz DRC’s and Quartz LVS’s advanced features were shown to improve the yield and reliability of Toshiba’s flash memory designs.

Traditional DRC and LVS tools analyze only physical behavior, an approach that either introduces undue conservatism or fails to identify effects that affect product reliability. At advanced process nodes, analysis of electrical behavior is also required. Magma’s Quartz DRC and Quartz LVS are the first tools to provide both physical and electrical analysis.
