Ansys' certified semiconductor solutions will enable Faraday to shorten design cycles of 2.5D/3D-ICs and ensure designs meet signal integrity and performance goals

/ Key Highlights

• Faraday Technology Corporation will use Ansys RaptorX™ on-chip electromagnetic (EM) modeling solution to enhance the development of advanced packaging designs for 2.5D/3D integrated circuits (ICs)
• Ansys solutions will enable Faraday to optimize its interposer and multi-die designs, supporting better memory bandwidth, signal integrity, and performance of end applications

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Faraday Technology Corporation, a leading company in the semiconductor industry, is expanding its use of Ansys (NASDAQ: ANSS) technology to enhance its capabilities in developing advanced designs for multi-die 2.5D/3D-ICs — critical for artificial intelligence (AI), IoT, and 5G applications. With support from Ansys, Faraday will empower its customers to explore more robust design options for more innovative products. 

Faraday, a leading application specific integrated circuits (ASIC) design service and IP provider, supports customers with chip design projects. Recently, Faraday announced a 2.5D/3D-IC advanced package service to address exploding demand for multi-die designs that target products with better performance and lower power consumption. To meet this demand, engineers need the right multiphysics analysis tools to verify that chip designs include reliable signal and structural integrity and reliable power distribution before it goes to fabrication. This challenge is compounded by the trend toward developing denser chips that are more vulnerable to EM issues.

Adding RaptorX into the design flow will enable Faraday to increase precision and efficiency in its development process. Moreover, it enables predictively accurate EM modeling and analysis for advanced 3D-IC products, ensuring data transfer meets stringent modern standards. This will improve the design's fidelity, enhance performance and reliability, and accelerate time-to-market.

"Our extensive silicon IP allows our customers to start designing from a solid foundation, enabling them to focus solely on innovation and differentiating themselves in the market," said C.H. Chien, vice president of R&D at Faraday. "Fabrication is exceptionally expensive and there is no room for error. So, keeping the overall project cost low is paramount, and it starts with the initial design. With the addition of RaptorX in this phase, we can offer customers an efficient workflow that includes design verification and signoff as well as access to top-tier test and fabrication services, removing doubts about the chip's performance and longevity."

"Ansys' focus on multiphysics platforms enables innovators like Faraday to address key challenges for 3D-IC and accelerate their time-to-market," said John Lee, vice president and general manager of the semiconductor, electronics, and optics business unit at Ansys. "Our industry-leading tools facilitate meticulous modeling and analysis of electromagnetic phenomena, helping our customers remain at the forefront of technological advancements in 5G, AI and IoT."
