iNEMI Packaging Tech Topic Series: Role of EDA in Advanced Semiconductor Packaging

Estimated reading time: 1 minute

Advanced semiconductor packaging with heterogenous integration has made on-package integration of multiple chips a crucial part of finding alternatives to transistor scaling. Historically, EDA tools for front-end and back-end design have evolved separately; however, design complexity and the increased number of die-to-die or die-to-substrate interconnections has led to the need for EDA tools that can support integration of overall design planning, implementation, and system analysis in a single cockpit. With a unified platform, chip designers creating hyperscale computing, consumer, 5G communications, mobile and automotive applications can achieve greater productivity versus a disjointed die-by-die implementation approach.

Cadence is one of the first to provide EDA solutions for advanced packaging and heterogeneous integration and is leading the industry in delivering them to market for better design with greater efficiency.  This presentation will review advanced packaging technology trends and provide an overview of Cadence’s EDA platforms that enable seamless design from front-end to back-end for the new era of advanced semiconductor packaging.
