PITTSBURGH, May 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- ANSYS (NASDAQ:
ANSS) simulation tools, which deliver needed accuracy and reduced
turnaround time, while ensuring power integrity and
electromigration (EM) reliability, have been certified by UMC 28
and 40-nanometer (nm) technologies.
As the world's appetite for smart products continues to grow,
28-nanometer process technology is becoming the workhorse for most
of the mobile, computing and Internet of Things applications, while
40-nanometer is becoming the lead technology for such automotive
applications as microcontrollers. UMC, a leading semiconductor
foundry, is actively addressing the needs of its 28- and
40-nanometer customers by delivering reliable, low power and
cost-effective solutions.
UMC's certification of ANSYS®
RedHawk™ and ANSYS Totem™ includes
static and dynamic voltage drop analysis and signal and power EM
verification with accuracy correlation and circuit resistance
validation for poly-SiON, High-K/Metal Gate (HKMG) and mixed-signal
RFCMOS technologies as per UMC's requirements. These process
technologies are typically used for designing chips serving mobile,
computing, IoT, automotive and other applications.
"By working closely with ANSYS on tool certification, we are
able to offer our customers a reliable 28- and 40-nanometer
technology platforms, enabling them to design and deliver robust,
cost-effective systems-on-chips for the next generation electronic
products," said Shih Chin Lin,
