Ansys Semiconductor products provide a comprehensive suite of multiphysics EM/IR, thermal and electromagnetic simulation engines designed to support third-party IC implementation flows for digital and transistor-level design.
Best practices for ensuring and predicting semiconductor’s electronics reliability require comprehensive multi-physics simulations. Ansys ensures reliability success by developing solutions and workflows that overcome today’s biggest simulation and design challenges.
CAPABILITIES
Design Democratization
Ansys Electronics Reliability solutions allow organizations to capture a wide-range of parts, materials, simulation and other data, as well as access to critical, simulation-ready material and component data.
Workflow Automation
Ansys Electronics Reliability tools allow engineers to create comprehensive simulation workflows that include high-levels of automation.
Robust Reliability Predictions
Reliability predictions based on physics of failure (PoF) principles resides at the core of the Ansys Electronics Reliability portfolio. Using Ansys simulation tools, electronics manufacturers can determine how long it takes for a product to fail and why the failure occurred.
Electrical, Thermal and Mechanical Analysis
Integrated workflows between Ansys Sherlock, Icepak, Mechanical, LS-DYNA, and more provide the simulation results necessary to optimize product designs and ensure reliability in the field.
Warpage and Solder Joint Reliability
Accurately quantifying component and PCB Coefficient of thermal expansion (CTEs) and conducting informed thermal cycling simulations can provide companies with actionable data to determine if products face solder fatigue risk and what solutions exist to mitigate the risk.
