Versatile and Scalable IC to Systems Electronics Design

Ansys HFSS-IC unifies the power of the industry’s three best-in-class electromagnetic solvers – HFSS, RaptorX, and Q3D – into one design environment. Ansys HFSS-IC expedites the time-to-market delivery of foundry-certified designs with gold-standard accuracy for sign-off.

HFSS-IC Capabilities

 

Key Features

HFSS-IC bundles 3 golden electromagnetic solvers for chip to system design: HFSS, RaptorX and Q3D.

  • Signal and power integrity analysis
  • Advanced packaging design
  • Chip to system assembly sign-off

Designing for good signal and power integrity is a multi-step process that often requires importing and exporting data from one tool to another. HFSS-IC offers access to multiple industry-leading EM extraction tools in one design interface and a circuit solver to complete the simulation-based workflow.  

The Ansys Electronics Desktop Platform now has a design mode tailored for IC design work. In this mode, designers can access all the HFSS-IC solver technologies (HFSS, RaptorX, and Q3D) to perform fast and accurate electromagnetic extraction of die and interposer designs from DC to high frequency for signal and power integrity analysis.

Leverage IC mode in Electronics Desktop for automated translation and simplification of the design, fast and accurate extraction, and advanced post-processing capabilities that help you design first-time-right interposers for 2.5 and 3D IC design. 

3DIC design brings a new simulation challenge: how can the entire chip be modeled to the package system and ensure no undesirable electromagnetic coupling occurs between various components in the assembly? HFSS has advanced usability and automation features that streamline the assembly of multiscale, heterogeneous designs. Once assembled, engineers will use HFSS Mesh Fusion and HPC to obtain timely gold standard accurate model extractions for signal and power integrity analysis. Create a dynamic link between HFSS and the circuit to push transient excitations and visualize 3D fields in the full system to obtain next-level design insights and confidently innovate.
