With its pattern-centric architecture, the NanoScope platform presents a major technology and industry breakthrough in speed and accuracy, using distributed computing on generic network computers.
NanoScope-PRV leads the industry in simulation-based comprehensive inspection, analysis, and process-limiter pattern extraction.
It ensures inspection accuracy with no compromise in performance for critical layer verification before mask making.
"After an extended technical evaluation of post-OPC verification tools available in the market place, Dongbu decided not only to continue its NanoScope usage but also expanded the licensing agreement to meet our rising business demand".
"We adopted the NanoScope-PRV product at 130nm node with excellent results now onto 90nm process and beyond".
"Anchor's software-based solution provides the optimum cost of ownership that combines accuracy, performance, reliability and ease of use".
"Moving forward, Dongbu will partner with Anchor in developing new advanced product features such as OPC pattern defect management tools that will enhance our competitiveness", according Dr Keeho Kim, Executive VP, Advanced Nano-Tech Development Team at Dongbu HiTek.
"We are delighted to see Dongbu's decision to continue this mutually beneficial business relationship".
"It's proven again that Anchor's software-based solution of using existing computing infrastructure can deliver good performance and accuracy without the expensive proprietary hardware".
"I am also delighted that Anchor will co-operate with Dongbu to develop additional industry-leading pattern transferring capabilities".
"Anchor values Dongbu's technology development partnership as well as being a loyal customer", commented Dr Chenmin Hu, President of Anchor Semiconductor.
