IC Layout Design Consulting

One discipline, mastered. Layout that meets spec — and ships on time.

We focus exclusively on IC layout design. Engage us as an extension of your team, or hand off complete blocks for execution and sign-off.

Team extension

We plug into your flow, tools and methodology — adding senior layout capacity exactly when and where you need it, without permanent headcount.

Block hand-off

Give us a defined block or subsystem and we deliver it complete — laid out, verified and tape-out-ready against your specs and PDK.

What we deliver

End-to-end layout capabilities

Full-Custom IC Layout

Hand-crafted analog, mixed-signal and RF layout optimised for performance, area and yield.

  • Matching-critical device placement
  • Parasitic-aware routing
  • Area & performance optimisation

Analog & Mixed-Signal Blocks

Layout of bandgaps, ADCs, DACs, PLLs, LDOs, SerDes and other critical analog IP.

  • Bandgaps & LDO regulators
  • ADC / DAC data converters
  • PLLs & SerDes interfaces

Floorplanning & Top-Level Integration

Hierarchical floorplanning, power grid planning and top-level assembly for complex SoCs.

  • Hierarchical floorplanning
  • Power grid & IR planning
  • Top-level SoC assembly

DRC, LVS & Sign-Off

Physical verification, parasitic extraction and tape-out sign-off across leading PDKs.

  • DRC / LVS clean closure
  • Parasitic extraction (PEX)
  • Tape-out sign-off

ESD, Latch-Up & Reliability

ESD protection strategy, latch-up prevention and electromigration / IR-drop aware layout.

  • ESD protection strategy
  • Latch-up prevention
  • EM / IR-drop aware layout

Layout Consultancy & Mentoring

On-site or remote senior support to accelerate your team and de-risk critical projects.

  • On-site or remote support
  • Team mentoring & reviews
  • Project de-risking
