IN BRIEF: Ansys works with TSMC to certify PathFinder-SC software

Ansys Inc - Canonsburg, Pennsylvania-based engineering simulation software developer, Says its PathFinder-SC software has been certified as a new electrostatic discharge analysis solution for customers designing with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd's 2-nanometer silicon process technology. The software "delivers a novel verification solution that provides superior capacity and performance, easily accommodating large designs in the cloud," Ansys says. The company says PathFinder presents opportunities to perform robust electrostatic discharge analysis for point-to-point and current density both early and late in the design process. "This ensures chips are protected from electrical overstress, delivering safe and reliable semiconductor products for applications including AI, high-performance computing, 5G mobile communications, automotive, memory, and graphic processors," company adds.

TSMC senior director Lipen Yuan comments: "As the scale and size of chips continues to increase, we need to consider new approaches and new technologies that ensure our customers have access to optimal design solutions that maximize the performance and power efficiency of our cutting-edge process technologies. Our collaboration with Open Innovation Platform partners like Ansys delivers a proven, reliable verification solution for customers advancing the forefront of semiconductor design."

Ansys Vice President John Lee adds: "The Ansys multiphysics platform continues to prove itself a strong technical solution for a range of physics, from power integrity to high-speed electromagnetics. Our collaboration with TSMC extends multiphysics analysis for joint customers that are designing some of the most complex chips in the world and looking to take advantage of the cloud to accelerate their productivity."
