The new normal which swept in with the pandemic brought significant changes in the semiconductor industry that manufacturers and semiconductor fabs will likely be adjusting to for quite some time. Booming demand and prolonged shortages have put semiconductor production capacity at a premium. And demand is likely to outpace supply for the foreseeable future.

Despite, or maybe because of, the pandemic, Verified Market Research projects that the global Smart Manufacturing Market will grow at a 12.4% CAGR through 2028 to USD 589.98 billion.

Siemens Digital Industries Software announced the latest update to Siemens’ Simcenter 3D software, part of Siemens’ Xcelerator portfolio of software and services. It enables engineers to tackle the complexity of product development and innovation with advanced simulation.

Siemens Digital Industries Software announced it has enabled several of its electronic design automation (EDA) product families for the latest versions of Samsung Foundry’s advanced processes, including Siemens’ solutions targeting advanced packaging, electrostatic discharge (ESD) rules, and integrated circuit (IC) design in the cloud.

According to Siemens Digital Industries Software, the new software is the industry’s first and only IC power integrity verification solution designed to provide virtually unlimited scalability for analog, digital, and mixed signal ICs. 

The headlines continue to grow as more companies move their embedded projects to the RISC-V platform.

To achieve this latest certification, the Aprisa tool passed a suite of rigorous tests that confirmed the Siemens place-and-route software supports 22FDX design features. GF’s 22FDX platform is suitable for high-volume devices that require minimal idle power and low leakage, at design costs in line with those of 28nm chips.
