Solido, Variation-Aware Design Experts

Solido Design Automation makes Variation Designer, the world’s top CAD software for semiconductor variation analysis and debugging. Variation Designer is used to improve chip yield, improve performance, reduce die area, and reduce power consumption. It does this using a suite of technologies designed to provide fast, accurate measurement of variation effects and powerful tools for understanding and solving variation problems.

Our customers include most of the top semiconductor design companies in the world. Our user base currently spans well over 1000 production chip designers, and is growing quickly. Solido’s technology has been used to design chips that are in everything – phones, tablets, cars, TVs, PCs, credit cards – all kinds of products. It is becoming hard to find electronic devices manufactured in the last couple of years that do not include a chip that was designed using Solido’s software. We work with designers on mature and leading edge technologies; much of our production work is being done at sub-28nm processes, and we are now ramping up work on 7nm technologies.

Solido is headquartered in Canada, where our Product Development and Applications Engineering staff work together under one roof at Innovation Place in Saskatoon, Canada. We are expanding quickly to serve our growing customer base.
