Cadence achieves recognition for 3nm test
vehicle tapeout for next-generation GAA technology, Pegasus
Verification System 5nm/7nm certification, 3nm AMS enablement and
automotive reference flow enablement
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNS) today announced that
it has received four 2020 SAFE EDA awards from Samsung Foundry.
Cadence garnered a best technical support award for a 3nm test
vehicle tapeout for Samsung Foundry’s next-generation
gate-all-around (GAA) technology as well as a best innovation award
for Samsung Foundry’s 5nm/7nm full-chip design certification of the
Cadence® Pegasus™ Verification System. In addition, Cadence won two
awards for best collaboration—one for its role in the Samsung
Foundry advanced-node analog/mixed-signal (AMS) ecosystem, which is
dedicated to 3nm advancement, and the other for delivering a newly
enhanced automotive reference flow for functional safety and
reliability.
These awards were given to Cadence based on the following work
that has been delivered:
- 3nm test vehicle tapeout for next-generation GAA
technology: The Cadence full digital tool suite was used to
implement and sign off timing on a 3nm test chip tapeout,
demonstrating real silicon data as a proof of concept for
advanced-node customers.
- Pegasus Verification System 5nm/7nm certification: The
Cadence Pegasus Verification System, certified for Samsung
Foundry’s 5nm and 7nm process technologies, has been optimized to
enable advanced-node customers to reach signoff accuracy and
runtime goals in a variety of market areas, including the mobile
and hyperscale markets.
- 3nm AMS enablement: The Cadence custom and AMS IC design
flow achieved certification for Samsung Foundry’s 3nm GAA
technology, providing mutual customers with access to a highly
automated circuit design, layout, integrated signoff and
verification flow with unique in-design electrically driven,
EM-aware place-and-route custom automation capabilities to
efficiently design products for automotive, mobile, data center,
artificial intelligence (AI) and other emerging applications. Tools
in the flow included the Virtuoso® custom IC design platform, the
Spectre® Simulation Platform and the Innovus™ Implementation
System.
- Automotive reference flow enablement: Cadence optimized
its digital full flow for Samsung Foundry’s 14LPU process
technology using the Cadence Tensilica® ConnX B10 DSP, enabling
automotive designers to quickly deliver accurate first-time
silicon, achieve power, performance and area (PPA) goals, and meet
functional safety and quality/reliability targets.
“We’ve worked with Cadence to ensure our mutual customers have
access to our latest technologies so they can achieve the best
possible design results and get to market faster,” said Jaehong
Park, executive vice president of Foundry Design Platform
Development at Samsung Electronics. “Cadence delivered exemplary
innovations last year, and the Samsung Foundry SAFE EDA awards were
certainly well deserved.”
“Enabling our customers to achieve design excellence is our top
priority, and these awards from Samsung Foundry are indicative of
our commitment to working closely with customers to reach their
goals,” said Michael Jackson, corporate vice president, R&D in
the Digital & Signoff Group at Cadence. “Through our continued
collaboration with Samsung Foundry, we’ve successfully delivered
new technologies so that customers can create products across a
variety of emerging areas, including the automotive, mobile and
hyperscale markets.”
Cadence tools and flows are part of the company’s Intelligent
System Design™ strategy, which enables SoC design excellence. For
