A new edit in place mode for LDDI edit function A more precise relationship between file and form are defined during IP merge request, detailed instructions are given at attached word file. New features opened to interested customers (need special account to activate these functions, welcome to contact your account CE and ask for testing account to experience these changes) A more efficient hierarchy structure have implemented to design rule document system, resulting fewer and faster selection for user input during form filling. A new chip information database were implemented to enhance options covered when filling foundry service form Mask combination in LDDI form are now directly linked to the options selected in foundry service form, user can now change mask selection without memorizing meaning less mask code numbers.
