Siemens' IC Verification Tools Achieve Certification for Intel 14A and Intel 18A-P

Siemens has announced that its Calibre nmPlatform tool for integrated circuit (IC) design verification, along with its Solido Simulation Suite for analog, custom digital, and mixed-signal circuit verification, are now certified for Intel's 14A and 18A-P process technologies.

The Calibre nmPlatform certifications cover Intel's processes across the Calibre nmDRC, Calibre nmLVS, Calibre PERC, and Calibre YieldEnhancer product lines. In addition, Solido SPICE and Analog FastSPICE (AFS), both part of the Solido Simulation Suite, are now certified and enabled with Open Model Interface (OMI), the industry-standard platform for aging modeling and reliability analysis. AFS has also been enabled through Intel's Custom Reference Flow (CRF).

Siemens and Intel Foundry have additionally worked together to deliver a digital workflow for Intel's advanced packaging technologies, including Embedded Multi-die Interconnect Bridge (EMIB) and EMIB-T, which features through-silicon vias (TSV). This workflow is designed to let engineers design, prototype, and verify multi-chiplet architectures using a comprehensive suite of Siemens design and verification tools.

With these new certifications for Intel Foundry's leading-edge 14A and 18A-P processes, IC and system-level design engineers can continue relying on their established EDA tools for tape-outs built on Intel Foundry's adv...
