PITTSBURGH, Oct. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- TSMC has honored
ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS) with its Open Innovation Platform®
Partner of the Year 2014 award for joint development of
16-nanometer (nm) FinFET Plus design infrastructure. The award is
given to TSMC OIP partners that have made significant contributions
toward the development of design infrastructure for their latest
process technologies. ANSYS was recognized for advanced power noise
and reliability solutions that helped enable TSMC's 16nm FinFET
Plus technology deployment.
ANSYS solutions for integrated circuits deliver reduced
memory footprint and turnaround time to meet the demands of
increased computational speed caused by the growing design
complexity. TSMC and ANSYS collaborated on ANSYS®
RedHawk™ and Totem™ tools in N16FF+ technology to ensure needed
accuracy for static and dynamic voltage drop analysis,
electromigration (EM) verification and thermal reliability sign-off
of system-on-chip (SoC) and mixed-signal designs. FinFET technology
is a three-dimensional transistor architecture that results in
higher-performing and lower power chips used in mobile, computing
and networking applications.
"ANSYS has partnered with TSMC to bring deep technical
experience to address the new power and reliability challenges
associated with 16nm FinFET Plus designs," said Suk Lee, TSMC senior director, Design
Infrastructure Marketing Division. "We are pleased to award ANSYS
with the TSMC Open Innovation Platform Partner of the Year 2014
Award for 16nm FinFET Plus development and collaboration, and look
forward to continued collaborations that enable our customers to
deliver products that run fast and consume less power."
"ANSYS is honored to be presented with this prestigious award
from TSMC, recognizing our longstanding partnership in providing
innovative solutions for power, noise and reliability sign-off of
advanced manufacturing nodes," said Fares Mubarak, vice president
and general manager of ANSYS. "This joint delivery of technology
enables more robust integrated circuit designs and underscores our
customer commitment."
