System Integration Key to First IC/Package Co-Design Tool Success

ROME, Nov. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — A proprietary system integration platform is proving the key to early trial success of MZ Technology’s GENIO IC/Package Co-Design EDA Tool. GENIO became the first commercially available IC/Package Co-Design Tool when MZ Technologies began taking order in August.

GENIO’s proprietary fully integrated design feature is an end-to-end IC and packaging platform for 2D/2.5D/3D system design.  To date, the platform’s environment-agnostic feature has attracted early trial interest.

GENIO integrates existing silicon and package EDA flows to create full co-design and optimization of complex multi-chip designs that comprise advanced heterogeneous microelectronic systems.

“While there has been a plethora of design successes in both IC and package environment the stumbling block to advanced packaging success has been finding one integrated tool that worked with equal success in both environments,” said Anna Fontanelli, Founder and CEO of MZ Technologies.  “Because it has been designed from the gate as a co-design tool GENIO is a total, integrated solution.”

GENIO’s holistic design environment includes complete floor planning, I/O planning and end-to-end interconnect planning combined with cross-hierarchical pathfinding optimization, she explained.

GENIO‘s complete cross-hierarchical, 3D-aware, design methodologies streamline the entire IC eco-system.  It integrates IC and advanced packaging design to ensure full system level optimization, shorten the design cycle, drive faster time-to-manufacturing and improve yields.

The Duet graphic user interface (GUI) creates an environment where cross-fabric structures can be imported, created, and stored in a common database. Efficient automation allows designers to create, explore, optimize and compare different floor-planning scenarios and dynamically modify and store optimization results according to the final configuration.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
