"We have had experience in representing DFM companies in the Chinese market, earlier with Numerical Technologies and now with Ponte Solutions," said Margaret Kao, chairman and chief executive officer of Marketech International Corp. "We feel that Pyxis, with its DFM routing software product, complements what we bring to our customers and we are very excited about working with Pyxis to impact the design side of DFM."
"We think that MIC's fab relationships and DFM knowledge are instrumental in connecting Pyxis with the design community in China and Taiwan. As we start our customer engagements, we see a lot of excitement in a new way of designing that can boost chip yield while cutting down the time it takes to complete the chip design and get to masks," said Naeem Zafar, president and CEO of Pyxis Technology.
Pyxis has already started to hire its applications team in Taiwan and early engagements with customers have started.
