A silicon compiler is a software system that takes a user s specifications and automatically generates an integrated circuit IC . The process is sometimes referred to as hardware compilation . Silicon compilation takes place in three major steps Convert a Hardware description language hardware description language such as Verilog or VHDL or FpgaC into logic typically in the form of a netlist . Place equivalent logic gate s on the IC. Silicon compilers typically use standard cell libraries so that they do not have to worry about the actual integrated circuit layout and can focus on the placement. Routing the standard cells together to form the desired logic. Silicon compilation was first described in 1979 by David L.

Silicon Saxony is a registered industry association of nearly 300 companies in the microelectronics and related sectors in Saxony , Germany , with around 40,000 employees. Many, but not all, of those firms are situated in the north of Dresden . With a name chosen referring to Silicon Valley , the area and the union in many aspects represent the last meaningful Europe an center of microelectronics. Many of those firms have very research and capital intensive business models competing with subsidized global players, mainly from Asia . Industrial fields The companies develop and produce computer calculation and memory chips or new materials and electronics for solar companies. The developed and produced small semiconductors chips are used in all kinds of cars, mobile phones, TV sets and so on. History Even before Germany s reunification, Dresden was a major center of microelectronics in the Eastern bloc with 3,500 employees. While mechanical engineering , which the south of eastern Germany has a very long history in, suffered after the collapse of the Soviet Union , the microelectronics industries were, with public help from the state, the first industrial sectors in Saxony which soon recovered and also paved the way for other industries. With many more employees today than before 1990 , the sector is always under heavy pressure because South Korea in particular is very keen to attract the industry at any price. Saxony and Germany , however, are bound to competition laws of the European Union , but could manage to keep and expand most of all the research parts of the industry, which is seen as success but also seen as very risky whenever a bigger company has serious problems, because the sector demands high concentration of resources. Scientific environment Dresden , as core region of Silicon Saxony and yet without the headquarters of many of today s big companies, is nevertheless ... trade associations de Silicon Saxony es Silicon Saxony fr Silicon Saxony sk Silicon Saxony ... more details
