Alchip Opens 3DIC ASIC Design Services

Proven AI and HPC ASIC Design Flow Production-ready

Taipei, Taiwan, Jan xx, 2025 – Alchip Technologies, Limited, the high-performance  ASIC leader, has formally opened its three-dimensional integrated circuit (3DIC) design services  for the latest high-performance ASICs targeting AI and high-performance computing (HPC)  applications.  

3DIC design refers to a cutting-edge semiconductor technology where multiple integrated  circuits (ICs) are stacked vertically within a single package. This approach uses through-silicon  vias (TSVs) and hybrid bonding to integrate the stacked chips, enabling faster data transfer,  reduced power consumption, and a smaller footprint compared to traditional two-dimensional  designs. Future designs for these applications will require high performance and efficiency in  cloud and networking infrastructure, mobile devices, and graphics processing units (GPUs). 

Alchip’s silicon-proven 3DIC design flow has optimized selected 3DIC designs along  three critical dimensions: power delivery, die-to-die electrical interconnect, and system-wide  thermal characterization.  

The new 3DIC design flow’s power delivery module encompasses power integrity, power  grid design (including through-silicon-via distribution), and power integrity simulation and sign off capabilities.  

Die-to-die electrical interconnect capabilities identify and rectify low clock skew across  dies, process variation immunity, noise immunity, data transmission across different power  domains, and inter-die setup/hold timing margin. This capability also addresses power performance-area (PPA) optimized IO cells for clock and data, as well as redundancy strategies. 

Alchip’s 3DIC design flow also covers thermal characterization to increase power  density, perform 3D non-uniform power mapping, mitigate 3D thermal crosstalk effects, and  provide package and system cooling solution modeling. 

“Alchip has been collaborating for many years with our EDA, foundry, and OSAT partners to accelerate multi-die designs,” explained Erez Shaizaf, Alchip’s chief technology  officer. “Now, those many months of hard work have culminated in providing the high performance ASIC market with a design flow that cost-efficiently takes on the complexity of  next generation 3DIC ASIC designs.”

Zonal Architecture: Making the Car of the Future Possible
Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Molex
In order to keep pace with the ever-increasing design concerns for the future of automotive designs, we need to consolidate ECUs, reduce harness size and complexity, and reduce our overall design cycle time. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Marcelino Hernandez from Molex and Amelia Dalton explore how Molex’ MX-DASH Portfolio will make zonal architecture implementation a reality for a variety of different automotive applications. They also investigate the trends pushing a need for zonal architectures in automotive designs and the benefits that this new approach to connectivity solutions can bring to your next automotive design.
