Creation of a Russian Import-Independent System for Automated Design of Digital Integrated Circuits Based on the OpenLane

This article describes a brief history of the development of the CAD system for integrated circuit design in Russia. The background of the beginning of the import-independent Russian CAD for digital integrated circuit design "Obsidian" is presented. What tasks were set for the developers and which results have been achieved up to the present. The results of a large set of tests obtained by "Obsidian" to compare this system with commercial CAD tools for digital integrated circuit design are presented. Further directions of the development of CAD of digital integrated circuits have been determined for separate stages of the design route.
