IC designers address more and more increased complexity and density yet shorter development timescales, they have to work with greater accuracy and novel functionality using more advanced circuit techniques and ensure first-time-right designs because of escalating mask costs.

Silicon Radar GmbH offers a mature, customer-proven toolset called LayTools which is optimized for complex analog, RF and mixed signal IC development. LayTools is a complete design toolset that allows the designer to move all the way from concept to IC design and fabrication. Maintaining currently applicable functionality, providing an intuitive interface, and offering a flexibility that allows creativity; these are the original objects of the software authors and remain the goals of LayTools IC design tools today.
Thus LayTools IC design software keeps pace with today's design expectations while offering the creative enterprise a design portal of the future.
