PITTSBURGH, Sept. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Intel Custom
Foundry customers are delivering powerful, innovative products
thanks to the certification of ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS) solutions for
electromigration, power and electrostatic discharge reference flows
for Intel® 22nm FinFET low-power (22FFL) process
technology. The supported tools from ANSYS and Intel Custom
Foundry's collaboration enable mutual customers to minimize
design costs and risks while quickly bringing cutting-edge and
reliable products to market.
IoT and entry mobile products demand higher performance with
less power consumption and excellent reliability. To achieve this
today, multiple subsystems of an electronic product are combined
into one or more integrated circuits known as a system on a chip
(SoC). ANSYS simulation tools deliver needed accuracy while
reducing turnaround time to meet the increased computational
requirements caused by the growing design complexity of modern
products. Advanced technology support in
ANSYS® RedHawk™, ANSYS® Totem™ and
ANSYS® PathFinder™, including electromigration rule
compliance, deliver greater reliability and manufacturability, as
well as minimize risk and lower cost.
Intel's new 22FFL process technology offers a unique blend of
high-performance and ultralow-power transistors combined with
simplified interconnects and simpler design rules to deliver a
versatile FinFET design platform for low-power and mobile products.
It offers up to 100x lower leakage compared with the previous Intel
22GP (general purpose) technology. The Intel 22FFL also delivers
drive currents on par with Intel's 14 nm transistors while
delivering true 22nm class scaling at 17.8 MTr/mm^2, enabling
better performance and power than any industry planar technology
can achieve.
The certification from Intel Custom Foundry for its advanced
22FFL process technology validates the capability to simulate
designs while maintaining sign-off accuracy. It enables designers
to meet demanding power and reliability requirements for their
intellectual properties, analog and custom integrated circuit
designs. Mutual customers of Intel Custom Foundry and ANSYS
can design cutting-edge applications such as mobile and low power
IoT products based on this 22FFL certification.
"22FFL is a unique new technology that provides a compelling
combination of performance, power, density and ease of design for
low-power IoT and mobile products," said Venkat Immaneni, senior director, Foundry Design
Kit Enablement for Intel Custom Foundry. "The certification of
ANSYS tools combined with the comprehensive Intel Custom Foundry
22FFL platform gives our mutual customers a competitive advantage
when implementing robust, high-performance intellectual properties
and SoCs on our new 22FFL offerings."
"Power, electromigration and electrostatic discharge reference
flows are absolute requirements to create smart, robust IoT and
entry mobile products. Our collaboration with Intel Custom Foundry
on the 22FFL design platform and its certification of ANSYS
solutions emphasize the high-quality results and benefits of ANSYS
simulation tools," said John Lee,
general manager at ANSYS. "This collaborative effort further
empowers Intel Custom Foundry customers to confidently build the
next-generation of robust and reliable computing products for
low-power IoT and mobile products."
