LayAna is an automatic hierarchical analysis tool for mask layouts. The LADEE tool suite and LACE Layout Compaction Engine convert structured designs hierarchically. However, most designs are not accompanied by any explicit information about the structure of the hierarchy, such as cell abutment and port information, as well as information on over-the-cell-routing. 
LayAna is the tool that automatically extracts the cell abutment, ports, and over-the-cell routing information from the existing layout database and stores that information in a topology database. This database is used in conjunction with the LACE for hierarchical conversion and compaction. Hierarchical compaction is done in parallel mode, in which all abutting ports can be synchronized over the LAN.
After conversion and compaction, the layout database will be reconstructed according to the layout hierarchy extracted from the input database.

LayAna provides a unique hierarchical layout compaction and optimization approach, offered by no other layout migration tools suite.

Unique Features

LayAna is not limited to a specific number of hierarchical levels. Instead, it can handle n levels of hierarchy.

It also supports overlapping cells and over-the-cell routing, as well as shared layout structures among cells, such as contacts at cell boundaries. 

LayAna can analyze the hierarchy of standard cell blocks, structured custom blocks, datapath, DSP, CPU, RAM, ROM and macro blocks.

LAYANA is integrated into the LADEE tool suite and works seamlessly with the other tools of the suite.
