Guided evaluation

Put WCS to the test on work that matters.

Choose a design task your team wants to improve. Work through it with Wafercad, compare the effort and results, and decide where WCS belongs in your workflow.

Run the matched task with WCS and relevant NETI AI assistance.

Review the result and the effort together.
Compare the same task under agreed conditions.

Start with one useful question

Where does the work slow down?

A focused trial can cover a correction, a circuit investigation or a team review. Choose the task that matters most to your engineers.

Resolve a verification finding

Inspect a DRC or LVS finding, make the correction and compare the next run in Prism and Parity.

How much effort goes into reaching a verified correction?

Investigate circuit behaviour

Use a representative circuit in Pulse to prepare a simulation, inspect waveforms and compare measured results.

Where can the team reduce repeated setup and analysis?

Review a design together

Share the work, discuss a canvas issue and use NETI AI to investigate a supported finding or result.

Can another engineer understand the issue and continue the work?

What should we prepare?

Start with a short description of the task, technology and outcome you want to improve. We can begin with a sample design.

For your own design or PDK, agree confidentiality, licensing, access and the deployment environment before sharing files. The initial inquiry only needs a description.

Explore security and deployment choices

Agree the test before running it

Make the comparison useful to your team.

  1. Define the baseline

    Agree the block, PDK, task and acceptable result. Record the current workflow and the conditions for comparison.

  2. Run the matched task

    Work through the task in WCS. Capture engineering time, manual steps, results and any rework.

  3. Review the difference

    Check result quality alongside effort and cost. Identify what fits and what needs further investigation.

Measure more than clicks.

Select the measures that answer your engineering and purchasing questions.

Ready to work
Setup time and support effort before the task begins.
First valid result
Time to a simulation or verification result that meets the agreed checks.
Correction and review
Engineer time spent investigating, changing, rerunning and handing over the work.
Operating effort
Compute, administration and tool costs attributable to the task.

Your evaluation brief
