Simulating Atomic Layer Processing Of 2D Materials


Integrating 2D materials into sustainable electronic devices presents key challenges, particularly in depositing or etching nanometer-thick layers on high aspect ratio structures. Atomic Layer Etching (ALE) offers atomic-level precision and has demonstrated success in producing atomically thin layers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) like MoS2. Synopsys has developed an industry-grade ... » read more

Streamlining Functional Verification For Multi-Die And Chiplet Designs


An Opportunity and a Challenge The manufacturing aspects of multi-die/multi-chiplet designs are often highlighted, but what about verification? Functional correctness and performance of inter-die connections via a standard interface, such as UCIe or a custom inter-die interface, are not guaranteed to meet all system requirements. These interfaces must be verified comprehensively, ensuring co... » read more

Improving Emergency Response in the Era of ADAS Vehicles in the Smart City


Abstract: "Management of emergency vehicles can be fostered within a Smart City, i.e. an urban environment in which many IoT devices are orchestrated by a distributed intelligence able to suggest to road users the best course of action in different traffic situations. By extending MATSim (Multi-Agent Transport Simulation Software), we design and test appropriate mitigation strategies when tr... » read more

Physics-Based Sensor Validation Via Ansys: Driving New Automotive Innovations


Autonomous driving is revolutionizing the global automotive industry. With every new model, cars are smarter and more capable of independently responding to external signals like lane markings, highway signs, other cars and pedestrians. However, formulating a correct response via artificial intelligence depends on flawless sensor performance. With so many sensors supporting the advanced driv... » read more

Comprehensive Simulation Of Power Electronics Systems


Power electronics systems are at the heart of many important and growing industries, from all-electric vehicles to renewable energy generation. Optimizing the design of these systems requires accurate modeling and simulation long before construction of physical prototypes. SPICE-level simulation has been the traditional solution and, while it still plays a key role, it cannot satisfy all requir... » read more
