PITTSBURGH, April 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- ANSYS,
Inc. (NASDAQ: ANSS) announced today that its RedHawk™ and Totem™
products are certified for production version 1.0 of Design Rule
Manual (DRM) and SPICE model tool certification for TSMC
16-nanometer (nm) FinFET technology. TSMC has certified these
solutions for static and dynamic voltage drop analysis and signal
and power electromigration (EM) verification.
FinFET technology is a three-dimensional transistor architecture
that results in higher-performing and lower power chips used in
mobile and high-performance computing applications. Complex metal
geometry and high drive currents in FinFET devices make solutions
for power integrity and electromigration key requirements.
Innovative algorithms within ANSYS technology deliver needed
accuracy and reduce turnaround time to meet the increased
computational requirements caused by the growing complexity and
provide advanced EM verification and accurate IR voltage drop
analysis from early in the design flow through sign-off.
"The certification of RedHawk and Totem for 16nm FinFET
technology demonstrates how our products are delivering the
accuracy required for IR/EM sign-off," said Norman Chang, vice president and senior product
strategist of Apache Design, a subsidiary of ANSYS. "By
collaborating with TSMC, we are able to provide optimized tools and
methodologies for the industry's most advanced process nodes and
emerging design technologies."
"A close collaboration between TSMC and Apache on 16nm FinFET
Tool Certification enables chip designers to efficiently deliver
more robust and reliable systems-on-chips for the next generation
electronic products," said Suk Lee,
TSMC senior director, Design Infrastructure Marketing Division.
The ANSYS portfolio of product offerings will be showcased at
the upcoming TSMC Symposium in San Jose, Austin and Boston and Design Automation Conference (DAC)
in exhibit booth #1413.
