Primarius to Feature Fast, Accurate Modeling, Characterization, Simulation Solutions at 61st Design Automation Conference
18 Junio 2024 - 10:30AM
Primarius Technologies will demonstrate its entire portfolio of EDA
toolchain and one-stop design enablement solutions that integrate
advanced parallelization technologies with industry-proven modeling
and simulation engines at the 61st Design Automation Conference
(DAC) June 24-26 at Moscone West in San Francisco.
Also announced today: Primarius acquired Magwel N.V., provider
of 3D solver- and simulation-based layout analysis and design
solutions for digital, analog/mixed-signal, power management,
automotive and RF ICs, and launched ESDiTM, a chip-level human body
model (HBM) analysis platform and power device design, and PTMTM, a
layout verification tool family.
Demonstrations will highlight Primarius’ fast, accurate device
modeling and cell library characterization and circuit simulation
solutions based on its continuous innovation and R&D expertise,
including:
- SDEPTM, the spec-driven extraction platform that builds auto
model extraction flows for fast SPICE model extraction, a key
engine enabling efficient Design-Technology Co-Optimization (DTCO),
and an extended capability on top of the de facto golden-standard
SPICE modeling platform, BSIMProPlusTM.
- NanoSpice XTM, the latest high-performance SPICE simulator
addressing simulation capacity and accuracy challenges of big
post-layout designs at advanced process nodes.
- NanoSpice Pro XTM, the latest FastSPICE simulator with
simulation performance and accuracy needs tailored for SRAM, DRAM,
Flash and big analog-on-top designs in high-performance computing,
mobile, AI and other advanced applications.
- NanoCellTM, the latest standard cell library characterization
solution employs advanced distributed parallel architecture
technology and cell circuit analysis extraction algorithms embedded
with a high-precision SPICE simulator, making it a fast, accurate
and easy-to-use alternative to other commercial solutions.
- ESDi, state-of-the art HBM analysis, simulation and
verification tool for on-chip ESD protection.
The Primarius Product PortfolioIC company
challenges designing and manufacturing high-end chips have
increased sharply. Foundries and IDMs need to provide their design
customers with more comprehensive and accurate SPICE models, more
reliable and complete PDKs, and more coverage of standard cell
library within shorter development cycles. Chip designers also
require stronger COT capabilities to work with device engineers to
customize process and devices, develop customized SPICE models, and
perform re-characterization of cell libraries based on actual
applications.
Primarius provides complete EDA toolchain and a one-stop design
enablement technical development solutions. Innovations like these
can shorten the SPICE model development cycle from several months
to a few weeks or even hours for quick iteration addressing the
efficiency bottleneck of DTCO. The advanced simulation technologies
speed-up challenging circuit simulation by several times, and the
latest cell library characterization solution provides the best
throughput with near-linear scaling on thousands of x86 or ARM CPU
cores on a computer farm or public cloud.
It aims to enable faster turnaround from technology development
to advanced chip designs. Solutions include advanced analysis
capabilities for high-sigma yield, aging, EM/IR, ESD, signal
integrity and more targeting optimum yield and power, performance
and area (PPA).
Primarius also provides the 9812 series, an industry-golden low
frequency noise testing system used by most industry-leading
semiconductor companies worldwide. Its latest release, 9812AC, is
the only commercial low-frequency noise system under AC excitation
and designed for the most advanced process development and chip
designs.
Magwel N.V. AcquisitionPrimarius acquired
Belgian-based Magwel N.V. driven by broad market demand and
technological evolution, integrating its chip-level HBM ESD
analysis platform, the power device design and layout verification
tool suite and other technologies into the Primarius portfolio.
“Primarius and Magwel share a common goal of enhancing the
market competitiveness of overall analog and power semiconductor
solutions,” states Dr. Lianfeng Yang, President of Primarius.
“Magwel's integration will further advance our strategy to optimize
DTCO, enhance our technology portfolio, expand our product coverage
and further strengthen and consolidate our market
competitiveness.”
