EDALogic proudly introduces Atlas a comprehensive platform designed for early-stage and signoff-level thermal, power (IR), and electromigration (EM) analysis. Atlas facilitates full-spectrum, multi-physics analysis, covering electrical, thermal, signal, and power integrity. The platform consists of two distinct tools, Neo and Helius.
Neo: Chip-Level EM/IR Tool
Neo provides in-depth cross-die IR drop analysis, offering detailed insights into layout and signoff processes. It employs advanced physics-based models for electromigration (EM) and thermomigration in interposers and power grid structures. Notably, Neo mitigates pessimism inherent in heuristic-based approaches, introducing accuracy in analysis by integrating Joule heating-induced interactions.
Neo enables accurate analysis of the entire 3D package, encompassing Cu redistribution lines, micro solder bumps, through-Silicon vias, and Cu-to-Cu direct bonds.
Helius: ElectroThermal System Level Tool
In addressing widespread thermal challenges in modern 3D ICs, Helius provides a holistic approach, integrating models for both core and memory. Accurate power and current profiles of each subsystem in the entire 3D stack are incorporated.
The tool employs fine-grain and adaptive Finite Element Method (FEM) meshing strategies for detailed thermal model extraction based on local hotspot gradients. Additionally, Helius introduces a Boundary Condition independent reduced-order model extraction for core and memory modules on the chiplet, enabling fast Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations of the entire system.
Powered by dedicated solvers and preconditioners with multi-threading and distributed processing capabilities, Helius enhances thermal simulations. The tool also offers a rapid what-if deep learning-based 3D IC thermal simulator, solving heat equations under various Partial Differential Equations (PDE) configurations.
In summary,
EDALogic's Atlas platform, featuring Neo and Helius, represents a
groundbreaking advancement in 3D-IC reliability analysis, offering precise,
comprehensive, and efficient solutions for the challenges posed by
electromigration and thermal management in modern semiconductor design.
