(May 9, 2008) Wilsonville OR — Mentor Graphics Corp. has aligned its integrated circuit (IC) implementation product lines under the design-to-silicon division to better address the design and manufacturing challenges of 45nm and smaller process nodes. The division, which will be headed by V.P. and general manager, Joseph Sawicki, will now include Mentor's industry-leading IC products: the Olympus-SoC place-and-route system, the Calibre physical verification and DFM platform, and the design-for-test (DFT) product line.
The change was implemented to help Mentor customers "This change positions Mentor to more effectively tackle complex design and manufacturing challenges they are experiencing as ICs move to smaller processes, explained Gregory K. Hinckley, president of Mentor Graphics, adding that Sawicki has been instrumental in building the Calibre franchise into a full back-end flow, and that under his leadership, the realigned organization should do well.
Sawicki joined Mentor Graphics in 1990 and has held previous positions in applications engineering, sales, marketing and management. He holds a BSEE from the University of Rochester and an MBA from Northeastern University's High Technology Program.
