TSMC announced the award winners at its annual TSMC OIP Ecosystem Forum, which assembled semiconductor ecosystem partners and customers for a day of industry discussion around technological trends and design solutions. Ansys received the following Joint Development awards:
- Multiphysics: TSMC expanded the collaboration with Ansys RedHawk-SC Electrothermal™ thermal and multiphysics signoff platform, incorporating mechanical stress analysis solutions. In addition, TSMC, Ansys, and Synopsys developed an efficient flow to address multiphysics coupling challenges among timing, thermal, and power integrity. The flow seamlessly combines Synopsys' 3DIC Compiler™ exploration-to-signoff platform with Ansys multiphysics solutions RedHawk-SC Electrothermal and Ansys RedHawk-SC™ power integrity signoff platform for digital and 3D-IC.
- N2P and A16: Ansys collaborated with TSMC to develop power integrity analysis, electromigration reliability analysis, and critical thermal management solutions for TSMC's N2P and A16 advanced silicon processes. The flow includes RedHawk-SC, Ansys Totem™ power integrity signoff platform, and RedHawk-SC Electrothermal.
- COUPE enablement: Ansys and TSMC delivered a high-fidelity multiphysics solution to address design and reliability challenges for the TSMC COUPE integration system. This includes Ansys Zemax OpticStudio™ optical system design and analysis software, Ansys Lumerical™ FDTD advanced 3D electromagnetic FDTD simulation software, RedHawk-SC and Totem signoff platforms for multi-die power integrity signoff, Ansys RaptorX™ silicon optimized electromagnetic (EM) solver for design analysis and modeling for high-frequency EM analysis between dies, and RedHawk-SC Electrothermal for vital thermal management of the multi-die heterogenous system. Additionally, Lumerical allows custom Verilog-A models for electronic photonic circuit simulations, which work seamlessly with the TSMC Modeling Interface (TMI) and are co-designed with TSMC's Process Design Kit (PDK).
- RF design migration: Ansys collaborated with Synopsys and TSMC to combine the RaptorX electromagnetic modeling engine with Ansys optiSLang® process integration and design optimization software and Synopsys Custom Compiler and ASO.ai solution to automate the migration and optimization of analog circuits from one silicon process to another — enhancing design efficiency, reliability, and scalability.
"Ansys is a key ecosystem partner that has worked relentlessly alongside TSMC to address our mutual customers' most complex design challenges," said Dan Kochpatcharin, head of the ecosystem and alliance management division at TSMC. "The awards celebrate OIP partners like Ansys who strive for excellence in design enablement, working closely with TSMC to accelerate advanced 3D IC design for the next generation of AI innovation."
"The Ansys multiphysics platform is integral to meeting designers' stringent design requirements for 3D-IC," said John Lee, vice president and general manager of electronics, semiconductor, and optics business unit at Ansys. "Without the Ansys multiphysics platform, the chips that are enabling the AI, HPC, and silicon systems growth would take demonstrably longer to develop and validate, and the associated costs would be much higher. Together, Ansys and TSMC push the industry forward by empowering our mutual customers to explore advanced packaging technologies, leverage the speed and power of AI, and enhance product performance and durability."
