Introduction to our Physical Implementation Line

At Racyics, our Physical Implementation Line helps bring digital chip designs to life—turning ideas into real, manufacturable chips using advanced technologies, even down to 3nm. We work with customers in automotive, consumer electronics, and communication industries to create chips that are fast, efficient, and space-saving.

We take care of the full RTL-to-GDSII flow, which includes every key step in the chip design process:

RTL Design & Testing
We start by writing the chip’s behavior using languages like Verilog or VHDL. Then we test it through simulation to make sure everything works as planned.

Synthesis & Technology Mapping
Next, we turn the RTL code into a gate-level design and match it to real components from a specific technology, like FinFET or FDSOI. This makes sure the chip can actually be built.

Physical Design
This is where we turn the design into a physical layout:

• • Floorplanning: We decide the chip’s size and where to place the main blocks.

  • Placement: We place all gates and flip-flops in specific spots to make the layout efficient.

  • Clock Tree Synthesis (CTS): We build the clock network so timing stays accurate across the chip.

  • Routing: We connect everything with metal wires—first roughly (global), then exactly (detailed).

  • Physical Checks: We run many checks to make sure the chip meets all rules and works correctly

GDSII File Creation
Once everything is done and verified, we create a GDSII file. This file is what the factory uses to make the actual chip.

With strong experience in advanced technologies like FDSOI and FinFET, and tools like our makeChip cloud platform, Racyics offers flexible, high-quality design support tailored to your needs.

Let’s build the future of chip design together!
