Three key takeaways

  • 3D ICs require fundamentally new ESD verification strategies. Traditional 2D approaches cannot address the complexity and unique connections in stacked-die architectures.
  • Classifying external and internal IOs is essential for robust and cost-efficient ESD protection. Proper differentiation

[white paper] Parasitic Analysis Figures

By Omar Elabd

As semiconductor designs move below 7 nm, parasitic effects—resistance, capacitance and inductance—become major threats to IC performance and reliability, often hiding where netlist reviews cannot reach. Design teams need advanced visualization tools like heat maps, layer-based analysis and direct layout… Read More
