Ansys announced that its PathFinder-SC solution is certified as a new ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) analysis solution for customers designing with TSMC's N2 silicon process technology. PathFinder-SC provides a novel verification solution with superior capacity and performance, capable of easily accommodating large designs in the cloud. This addresses a critical industry need as chips rapidly increase in size and complexity.

This certification opens new opportunities to perform robust ESD analysis for P2P and CD earlier in the design process and at the end stage validation for large, complex designs, including System-on-Chip and multi-die integrated circuits. This ensures chips are protected from electrical overstress, delivering safe and reliable semiconductor products for applications such as AI, high-performance computing (HPC), 5G mobile communications, automotive, memory, and graphic processors (GPUs).

To promote the cloud as a high-capacity, high-speed option for mutual customers, Ansys and TSMC collaborated to complete certification for SeaScape, which includes RedHawk-SC, PathFinder-SC, and RedHawk-SC Electrothermal 3D-IC multiphysics analysis platform. Ansys' Totem solution for transistor-level and mixed-signal design is also certified, providing customers with the same verification reliability and accuracy when running projects in a distributed cloud environment.
