Artwork Conversion Software Information

Artwork Conversion Software develops high-performance CAD translators, viewers, and rasterization tools for semiconductor and PCB design and manufacturing data. The company’s products support a wide range of industry standard and proprietary formats, including GDSII, OASIS, Gerber, ODB++, DXF, and MEBES, and are used by end users, software vendors, and equipment manufacturers worldwide. Artwork provides advanced solutions for handling very large IC layout databases, including multi-threaded libraries for layout visualization, editing, net tracing, Boolean operations, bitmap extraction, and data fracturing. These technologies are widely licensed by semiconductor equipment manufacturers supporting wafer inspection, mask writing, laser direct imaging, failure analysis, SEM, FIB systems, and inkjet-based PCB printing. In addition, Artwork develops translators that bridge PCB layout data in Gerber and ODB++ formats to leading 3D simulation and mechanical design platforms, enabling accurate thermal, electromagnetic, and form-fit analysis. Artwork also offers comprehensive wafer map software for conversion, viewing, and editing, along with libraries that allow equipment OEMs to integrate map handling into prober and tester workflows.
