PITTSBURGH, Oct. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
/ Key Highlights
- Ansys achieved new certifications of its leading-edge suite of
semiconductor design solutions for all Samsung Foundry FinFET
process nodes
- Ansys® RedHawk-SC™ was added to the
certified suite to design energy efficient and highly reliable
chips for markets including 5G mobile, artificial intelligence
machine learning (AIML), high-performance computing (HPC),
automotive and the Internet of Things (IoT)
Ansys (NASDAQ: ANSS) achieved new certifications of its
leading-edge suite of semiconductor design solutions for all
Samsung Foundry FinFET process nodes. This empowers mutual
customers to verify and satisfy increasing power and reliability
goals for highly advanced semiconductor applications.
Samsung's next-generation silicon processes require tools with
larger capacities to accommodate huge designs and innovative
capabilities — including statistical electromigration (EM)
budgeting and thermal reliability analysis — to overcome complex
design issues. Ansys Redhawk-SC was added to the certified suite to
help Samsung's customers design energy efficient and highly
reliable chips for markets including 5G mobile, AIML, HPC,
automotive and IoT. Additionally, Samsung's design teams have
deployed RedHawk-SC to optimize performance, power and reliability
for their advanced process node designs.
Samsung certified Ansys Redhawk-SC and Ansys®
Redhawk™ for its entire line of FinFET process nodes —
including 14nm, 11nm, 10nm, 8nm, 7nm, 5nm and 4nm — and will
collaborate closely with Ansys on upcoming nodes. This
certification includes power integrity EM and IR-drop, statistical
EM budgeting, thermal analysis and multiphysics solutions for
multi-die integration. Redhawk-SC verifies massive 4nm designs by
executing signoff algorithms on its underlying Ansys®
SeaScape™ infrastructure — reducing simulation time from
weeks to hours, while boosting modeling fidelity. Ansys®
Totem™ is correspondingly certified for transistor-level
custom designs.
"The certification of Ansys Redhawk-SC, Redhawk and Totem
supports our joint customers in rapidly completing new designs with
improved confidence by managing increased power integrity,
reliability and thermal challenges," said Sangyun Kim, vice president at Samsung
Electronics. "Through the long, trusted alliance between Ansys and
Samsung, our customers build cutting-edge silicon innovations,
satisfy demanding performance objectives and are primed for winning
the race to market."
"Industry-leading FinFET processes enable customers to innovate
faster, smaller and lower-power applications. However, new
technology challenges require an advanced simulation-driven
analysis platform to maximize performance and reliability," said
Vic Kulkarni, vice president,
strategy, semiconductor business unit at Ansys. "This newest
certification reflects Ansys' deep, ongoing relationship with
Samsung Foundry, enabling our mutual customers to continue to
signoff and verify breakthrough products with confidence."
