High-Speed High-Capacity Mixed-Signal Simulation Of Silicon Photonics
By Paul Graykowski - 27 Mar, 2025 - Comments: 0

Many of today’s computing and communications applications demand almost unimaginable processing capability and high-bandwidth access to memory. For example, many data center systems using high-end Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) often need to transfer multiple terabytes per second. Traditional copper-based interconnects, limited to speeds of hundreds of megabits per second (Mbps), cannot ... » read more

Easier Assertion Development And Debug With Simulation Replay
By Vin Liao - 13 Mar, 2025 - Comments: 0

By Vin Liao and Robert Ruiz Assertions and assertion IP (AIP) are a core part of the register transfer level (RTL) verification environment for all modern chip development projects. Assertions can be considered as statements of design intent, specifying how the design should behave—and not behave—under specified conditions. They range from simple statements, for example, that a multi-bit... » read more

Signal Integrity Plays Increasingly Critical Role In Chiplet Design
By Ann Mutschler - 13 Feb, 2025 - Comments: 1

Maintaining the quality and reliability of electrical signals as they travel through interconnects is proving to be much more challenging with chiplets and advanced packaging than in monolithic SoCs and PCBs. Signal integrity is a fundamental requirement for all chips and systems, but it becomes more difficult with chiplets due to reflections, loss, crosstalk, process variation, and various ... » read more

Beyond Simulation: Transforming Early IC Design With Insight Analyzer
By Siemens EDA - 13 Feb, 2025 - Comments: 0

Traditional verification methods are proving inadequate for addressing critical reliability challenges in today's increasingly complex integrated circuit (IC) designs. Modern IC design requires a proactive approach to verification that emphasizes early-stage analysis. The shift-left methodology enables earlier identification of potential design risks, addressing the complex challenges of IP blo... » read more

A new technical paper titled "Simulation of Vertically Stacked 2-D Nanosheet FETs" was published by researchers at Università di Pisa and TU Wien. Abstract "We present a simulation study of vertically stacked 2-D nanosheet field-effect transistors (NSFETs). The aim of this investigation is to assess the performance and potential of FinFET alternatives, i.e., gate-all-around (GAA) nanosheet... » read more

Simulation Closes Gap Between Chip Design Optimization And Manufacturability
By Gregory Haley - 11 Feb, 2025 - Comments: 0

Simulation is playing an increasingly critical and central role throughout the design-through-manufacturing flow, fusing together everything from design to manufacturing and test in order to reduce the number and cost of silicon respins. The sheer density of modern chips, combined with advanced packaging techniques like 3D stacking and heterogeneous integration, has made iterative physical p... » read more

For decades, engineering simulation has been the engineer’s Swiss Army knife for improving the speed and cost of developing new products as well as for bringing product performance to the next level. This report reveals that while simulation has already made a significant contribution to advancing sustainability, there is still so much potential to make an even greater impact. In the conte... » read more

TCAD Simulation Challenges For Gate-All-Around Transistors
By Victor Moroz - 17 Dec, 2024 - Comments: 0

By Victor Moroz and Shela Aboud The transition from finFET technology to Gate-All-Around (GAA) technology helps to reduce transistor variability and resume channel length scaling. It also brings several new challenges in terms of transistor design that need to be addressed. One of the challenges is handling the thin Si layers that come with GAA technology, where Si channel thickness scale... » read more

Automotive Design: How AI Is Transforming The Art Of Simulation
By Ansys - 11 Dec, 2024 - Comments: 0

The automotive sector is about to experience a major wave of innovation as artificial intelligence (AI) is applied to design simulation, according to experts. The technology makes it possible to reduce the time needed to run the analyses for crash-test simulations — one of the most data-heavy exercises in automotive design — from several days to minutes.
