Keysight and Samsung Certify Electromagnetic Simulation Software for Samsung Foundry’s 8LPP Process Technology
January 25 2024 - 11:00AM
Business Wire
- Design engineers can now use RFPro to perform electromagnetic
simulation for circuits in Samsung’s most advanced 8nm Low Power
Plus radio frequency semiconductor process technology
- RFPro provides electromagnetic analysis of passive devices and
their effects in a circuit, which is essential to first pass
success with radio frequency integrated circuit design flows
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) announces that the
RFPro electromagnetic (EM) simulation software, part of the
Keysight EDA Advanced Design System (ADS) integrated tool suite, is
now certified by Samsung Foundry for design engineers targeting its
8-nanometer (nm) LPP (Low Power Plus) process. The new EM
simulation capability, together with process design kits (PDKs) for
Samsung’s radio frequency (RF) technologies for circuit and
physical designs, supports the achievement of first pass success by
radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) design teams.
Keysight ADS, RFPro, and GoldenGate are industry leading
platforms for RF and microwave circuit design that help designers
address their most difficult challenges with advanced solutions for
RFIC and EM simulation. RFPro is a 3D EM simulation interface
integrated into ADS, Cadence Virtuoso, and Synopsys Custom Compiler
environments. RF and microwave circuit designers using these
environments can easily run interactive EM-circuit co-simulation
for tuning and optimization during layout rather than as a
separate, standalone analysis step. RFPro includes Momentum 3D
Planar and FEM full 3D EM simulators with automatic expert setup to
accelerate interactive simulation and shorten the design cycle.
Samsung Foundry is the leading semiconductor foundry offering
optimized foundry solutions, including state-of-the-art process
technology, validated IP, and design service solutions. The 8LPP
PDK from Samsung now includes technology files for use in Keysight
EDA’s RFPro.
Sangyun Kim, Vice President and Head of Foundry Design
Technology Team at Samsung Electronics said: “Samsung has been
successfully collaborating with Keysight EDA to solve the most
complex RF problems for our customers. The certification of 8LPP
technology with Keysight’s RFPro means that simulation of different
inductors attained highly precise correlation with silicon
measurements per Samsung’s certification standards. This is the
first of many and we will continue to partner with Keysight to
ensure such certifications for our various RF technology
offerings.”
Nilesh Kamdar, Senior Director and RF and Microwave Portfolio
Manager at Keysight, said: “Foundry customers need design tool
solutions that deliver faster time-to-market for RFICs and
workflows. Keysight EDA is a long-time partner in the Samsung
Advanced Foundry Ecosystem (SAFE™) program, and we have been
collaborating to ensure our mutual customer success with Samsung’s
advanced semiconductor technologies. Our partnership reached
another milestone this year in certifying RFPro for the Samsung
8LPP process technology, which enables designers to perform fast
and accurate EM simulation, facilitating interactive analysis of EM
effects in their complex designs.”
