Magma Camelot CAD Navigation Software Adopted by Analytical Solutions for Failure Analysis

Magma® Design Automation announced that Analytical Solutions, a leading parts and failure analysis laboratory service provider, has adopted the Camelot CAD Navigation software to enhance its failure analysis, construction analysis and destructive physical analysis capabilities. Analytical Solutions selected the Magma software after results of an extensive evaluation demonstrated Camelot's ability to rapidly convert layout, netlist and design files into a common format for cross mapping circuits. Leveraging Camelot's capabilities, Analytical Solutions will be able to accelerate root cause failure analysis of its customers' electrical and electronic components.

"Camelot is the de facto standard in failure analysis but we conducted an evaluation to ensure that it was a good fit for our requirements," said Michael Strizich, president, Analytical Solutions. "The software performed flawlessly and the support we received was outstanding. We're confident that Camelot will enhance our ability to service our customers by improving our failure analysis accuracy and throughput."

"Fast, accurate failure analysis is critical to minimizing costs and ensuring reliability of electronic components in the field," said Ankush Oberai, vice president of Magma's Fab Analysis Business Unit. "Analytical Solutions' comprehensive evaluation and adoption demonstrates why, for more than 20 years, in-house failure analysis teams and service providers have relied on Camelot to transform raw data into vital information that is key to successful root cause failure analysis."

Camelot: Industry-Standard CAD Navigation

With thousands of users worldwide and installations in nearly every wafer fab and service lab, Camelot is the industry-standard software tool for failure analysis, fault diagnostics and design debug. Camelot imports CAD design data including GDSII files, netlists and schematics from leading layout versus schematic (LVS) packages to provide visual representation and cross-mapping of circuits. Linked to analytical tools, Camelot automatically drives test equipment to an exact location on a chip for viewing and analysis. Magma's YieldManager™ and Logic Map™ complement Camelot by helping to link the failure analysis information to the fab databases to enable rapid yield debug.
