Polyteda Cloud, a Ukrainian-based high-tech company established in 2015, specializes in developing electronic design automation (EDA) software focused on physical verification for integrated circuits. The company's flagship product, PVCLOUD, is designed to lower the market entry barrier for start-ups and small design firms by providing a high-quality, innovative solution. Polyteda Cloud's offerings include a cloud management system that features power DRC/LVS and the Nefelus-CMS toolset, enhancing the physical verification process. In recognition of its innovative approach, the company secured a Horizon 2020 SME Instrument grant in 2016 for a two-year project aimed at creating a cloud-based physical verification workflow for semiconductor foundries. The company's headquarters and research and development team are located in Kyiv, Ukraine.

Standard-cell libraries were introduced more than 40 years ago to help IC designers keep up with the increasing complexity of IC design. But the convenience offered by predefined digital CMOS standard cells has come at the price of overall chip-level efficiency. Standard-cell-based ICs are rarely optimized for their intended application, so ICs are not as small, fast or power-efficient as they could be. Nangate cell library creation and optimization tools provide the answer to this dilemma. Nangate tools enable custom tailoring of digital cell libraries to meet specific design targets. Libraries can be optimized for design goals such as power consumption, die area, operating frequency or required yield – as opposed to being designed for a broad range of standard requirements. The result: improvements in IC performance can be achieved at much lower cost and with considerably less effort than using full-custom design methods.
