Eclipse Overview
Eclipse is a kind of universal tool platform - an open extensible platform for anything and nothing in particular - feature-rich development environment allows efficient tool creation and integration - rich client platform (from v3.2 on) - deliver software either - as part of the common IDE platform - or within your own standalone application
IDE - Integrated Development Environment

Project:
Leadership Evaluation

Warpage simulation for electronics based on 2nd Ed. AP210

WBS #: 11.1.3.1

Date: 2008/04/09

Green

Red

Yellow

Status:
Stackup extensions
In test

Goals & Objectives:

Increase electronics design & mfg. performance through advanced warpage management
Increase design quality with warpage robustness Reduce schedule delays Increase manufacturing yields Decrease warpage-related losses: ~$100M/year

Warpage testbed
Round 1 completed with 3 organizations; 2 in-process Testing new 210 aspects (panelization, pkg. substrates, ...)

Warpage simulation tools

XaiTools Electronics - alpha releases done; v1 release 2H08

Provide tools & services for warpage management

Capture design & mfg. information needed for warpage mgt. and other processes: stackup design, materials, ... Automate simulation model generation Provide new graphical views that highlight hotspots

Warpage simulation services

Available for commercial usage since March 2007

Risks/Mitigations:
More ECAD/ECAM converters (and related tools and 210 model portions) are being challenged with a variety of advanced designs in the warpage testbed. New needs and issues emerge as new aspects are exercised (panelization, microvias, ...). Delays risk losing new 210 technology supporters.
Need resources for unit test case development and implementation Need more production designs for testing (limited to date except for Zuken Visula and CR5000)

Provide advanced demonstration of AP210 ed. 2

Staffing/Participants:
Georgia Tech
Warpage simulation technology

InterCAX LLC
