DW Software Suite

Computer Aided Design Software

Our advanced Design Software Suite provides solutions for a wide range of fields like the microelectronics, MEMS, photonics and microfabrication applications.

Design creation with minimal guidance

Automate complex and time-consuming processes

DW Suite is Design Workshop Technologies’ flagship suite of products, used by customers worldwide to deliver winning designs for over thirty years. DW enables the physical layout and verification of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits as well as optical components built using planar waveguide technology and other semiconductor manufacturing techniques.

Although available as separate modules, dw-2000 is an integrated environment consisting of a full-featured Layout Editor, a comprehensive Design Rule Checker, a reliable LVS, and a Data Conversion Module. All these modules share a common powerful Programming Environment allowing almost unlimited extendibility.
