GBT Seeks to Develop an AI Empowered Technology for Automatic Compaction of Integrated Circuit Layout Data IPs

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, February 15, 2022

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GBT Technologies Inc. (OTC PINK: GTCH ) ("GBT” or the “Company”), is developing an AI empowered technology for automatic compaction of integrated circuit (IC) layout blocks. As modern ICs are ever growing in complexity and size there is a high demand for design automation to reduce silicon area and increase its yield. Microchips are expected to include more functionalities, consuming less power, reducing in size and ultimately cheaper. The semiconductor field is pushing the envelope by introducing smaller manufacturing processes scaling into deep nanometer ranges. Scaling down the manufacturing process enables billions of transistors on die, higher performance, and power consumption reduction, but introduces new design challenges due to complicated physics rules. IC projects may take longer time as they need to comply with a vast amount of complex design rules and constraints. It is the Company’s position that an automatic IC layout compaction technology can be an efficient way to reduce new and existing layout IPs size utilizing less silicon area with the goal of increasing the overall yield.

Key Points: 
  • SAN DIEGO, Feb. 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GBT Technologies Inc. ( OTC PINK:GTCH ) ("GBT or the Company), is developing an AI empowered technology for automatic compaction of integrated circuit (IC) layout blocks.
