Driving the Future of Custom IC Design with AI: Highlights from Siemens EDA Forum Taiwan
The Siemens EDA Forum in Taiwan brought together a packed audience and an impressive showcase of booths from across the semiconductor ecosystem. The strong turnout underscored one thing clearly: our industry is ready to adopt AI-driven solutions to tackle the toughest custom IC design and verification challenges.
Custom IC Technical Sessions
Within the Custom IC Design and Verification track, attendees participated in sessions that addressed both future-oriented topics and practical applications.
- Library IP Verification, Selection, and Generation
The Solido Characterization Suite session showed how AI enables faster, smarter comparisons of .lib PPA data across libraries. Participants saw how this ensures earlier, more confident IP choices—reducing surprises later in the flow. - Early Bug Detection and High-Confidence IP Signoff
Using Solido Crosscheck and IPdelta, attendees learned how to validate across multiple IP views and track regressions between releases. The value? Catching mismatches early and ensuring consistent IP delivery without late-stage rework. - SPICE-Accurate Verification with Solido Design Environment
Attendees saw how production-proven AI in Solido Design Environment helps designers achieve high accuracy and coverage for variation-aware verification at 3, 4, 5, and 6+ sigma targets.. - Generative and Agentic AI for Custom IC Design
Through a series of compelling interactive demos, attendees experienced firsthand how Solido Generative and Agentic AI is seamlessly integrated across the Solido Custom IC platform. These advanced AI capabilities deliver measurable impact by accelerating time-to-market, reducing verification time, boosting designer proficiency, and streamlining designer-AI interaction and knowledge access through natural language integration.
A Forum with Energy and Engagement
The booths showcased the breadth of the Siemens EDA tool portfolio, as well as industry partners, creating a vibrant environment where attendees could see technology in action and engage directly with subject matter experts.
