Solido Design Automation

Solido was acquired by Mentor, a Siemens Business on December 1, 2017. Solido Design Automation is the world leader in machine learning-based electronic design automation software for variation-aware design and characterization. Our customers include most of the top semiconductor companies in the world. Our user base currently spans thousands of electronic chip designers, and is growing quickly. Solido's software 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 made in the last few 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, including FinFET and FD-SOI transistors. Solido is headquartered in Canada, where our Product Development and Customer Applications staff work together under one roof at Innovation Place in Saskatoon, Canada. We are expanding quickly to serve our growing global customer base.
