Siemens IFS Certify Tools

Siemens Digital Industries Software and Intel Foundry have announced tool certifications.

Siemens’ Calibre nmPlatform tool is now certified for the Intel 18A PDK.

Siemens’ Solido SPICE and Analog FastSPICE (AFS) software tools have been certified for the Intel 18A PDK.

Siemens’ Calibre nmPlatform and its Analog FastSPICE (AFS) software, which is part of Siemens’ Solido Simulation Suite offerings, are also now enabled through the Intel Foundry Custom Reference Flow (CRF).

Qualification of Siemens’ Calibre nmPlatform and Solido Simulation Suite offerings for the Intel 18A-P process node is now underway. Customers can request the latest Intel 18A-P PDK for early design work and IP development. Both  are part of the Intel 14A-E process definition and Design Technology Co-Optimization (DTCO), with early runsets already available.

A  reference workflow for Intel Foundry’s Embedded Multi-die Interconnect Bridge-T (EMIB-T) with Through Silicon Via technology has also been certified.  The  Siemens technologies certified in this reference flow include Innovator3D IC, Calibre nmDRC and nmLVS, Xpedition Package Designer, Calibre 3DThermal, HyperLynx SI/PI, and Calibre 3DStack. Customers can request the reference flow kit from Intel Foundry for early adoption and design exploration.

The collaboration has also established the availability of a prototype workflow for Embedded Multi-die Interconnect Bridge (EMIB) technology using Siemens’ Aprisa  software. Siemens’ Aprisa Automatic Place and Route (APR) technology was used to implement the Power/Ground (PG) grid and bump routing of the Silicon EMIB die.

Siemens has joined Intel Foundry Accelerator Chiplet Alliance.
