ANSYS' electromagnetic (EM) design solution, RaptorX, will be fully utilized in Samsung Electronics Foundry's product design for 5G, WiFi, automotive, and HPC applications to enhance product reliability and performance.

ANSYS Korea (CEO Seok-Hwan Moon) announced on the 6th that Samsung Electronics' Foundry Business Division has certified RaptorX, ANSYS' on-chip electromagnetic (EM) design solution for ultra-high-speed product analysis manufactured with the 8㎚ (nanometer) LN08LPP Low Power Plus silicon process.

By deploying RaptorX with silicon-validated accuracy, customers of both companies can leverage Samsung Foundry's manufacturing capabilities to improve product reliability and performance in 5G, WiFi, automotive and HPC.

As chip frequencies continue to increase, the requirements for EM modeling are expanding beyond niche applications.

The semiconductor industry relies on foundries (contract semiconductor manufacturers) to validate electronic design automation (EDA) tools to ensure the accuracy and reliability of simulation models essential for high-speed product development.

RaptorX's accuracy has been proven across a variety of challenging layout geometries, including high-density dummy-metal fills., and the model was correlated with silicon measurements.

The ability to reliably predict circuit behavior allows designers to optimize their products with confidence that they will perform as expected and meet performance specifications.

“Samsung Foundry’s new LN08LPP low-power process addresses the growing demand for high-speed semiconductors,” said Sangyoon Kim, vice president and head of design technology at Samsung Electronics Foundry. “Working with ANSYS enables customers to leverage leading electromagnetics and multiphysics solutions to enhance confidence in today’s largest and most sophisticated high-performance designs.”

“Our customers are designing high-frequency, next-generation technology products made possible by Samsung’s manufacturing advancements,” said John Lee, vice president and general manager of ANSYS’ Electronics, Semiconductor and Optics business unit. “The certification of RaptorX ensures that these data-intensive products have the accuracy they need to meet specifications at every level.”
