SAN JOSE, Calif. — Cadence Design Systems Inc. has acquired Clear Shape
Technologies Inc., a design-for-manufacturing (DFM) technology company.

The move expands Cadence's efforts in DFM. Traditional DFM-enabled
lithography analysis products take days or weeks to run, according to
Cadence.

Clear Shape is focused on delivering a ''Variability Platform'' that allows
designers to control and optimize the parametric and catastrophic impact of
systematic manufacturing variations. Clear Shape products are targeted to
cell-based, custom analog, IP, and library designers using sub-90 nm
processes.

The EDA firm's investors Intel Capital and KT Ventures, the venture arm of
KLA-Tencor Corp.


"We think there's a lot of momentum to be gained by integrating Clear Shape's
predictive, manufacturing-OPC-tool independent, validated-in-silicon
lithography capabilities into the Cadence DFM environment," said Atul Sharan,
president and chief executive of Clear Shape, in a statement.

The acquisition was completed on Aug. 15. Terms of the agreement have not
been disclosed.
