Siemens Digital Industries Software announced today that it has collaborated with United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC), a leading global semiconductor foundry, to implement Siemens' mPower™ software for electromigration (EM) and IR drop analysis, enabling chip designers to optimize performance and enhance reliability.
The scalability of mPower enables customers such as UMC to carry out more accurate analysis on larger layouts than ever before and the Transistor-Level Pre-Layout EM and IR Drop capabilities enable early detection of potential issues, allowing designers to optimize chip performance and enhance reliability.
After extensive evaluation, UMC successfully used mPower's automated processes to perform comprehensive SRAM full-chip circuit analysis, delivering precise IR drop distribution assessments and enabling early-stage risk detection.
"By integrating Siemens' mPower into our design verification flow, we're enhancing our ability to identify and address potential issues earlier in the development cycle," said Osbert Cheng, vice president of device technology development & design support, UMC. "This aligns perfectly with modern design requirements and helps ensure superior product quality for our customers." Key benefits gained with the implementation of mPower at UMC:
