In a compelling presentation that captivated audiences at the Siemens User2User North America 2025 Conference<\/a>, Dongsuk Lee, Principal Engineer at Samsung Foundry, unveiled how the powerful collaboration between Samsung Foundry and Siemens EDA has resulted in a groundbreaking methodology to speed up standard cell library verification by 14X<\/strong> over conventional approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This presentation showcased the remarkable progress made recently by Siemens EDA that underscores the transformative power of AI in chip design, without compromising accuracy, speed and practical usability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transforming library verification<\/strong>
In an industry where nanometers matter and every picosecond counts, Samsung Foundry stands at the forefront of technology. From the innovative Fully Depleted Silicon On Insulator (FD-SOI) to cutting-edge Gate-All-Around (GAA) technologies, their portfolio covers a broad range of process nodes supporting a vast array of applications. With great technology comes great verification challenges \u2013 and this is where the magic of the Samsung Foundry and Siemens EDA partnership truly shines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI: the game-changer for library verification<\/strong>
“Time is quite literally money,” emphasized Mr. Lee, who has over 15 years of experience in analog and mixed-signal circuit design, highlighting a universal truth in the semiconductor industry. Enter Siemens EDA’s advanced AI-powered solutions: Solido\u2122 <\/sup><\/sup>Sim AI and Solido\u2122 LibSPICE, part of Solido\u2122 Simulation Suite. These aren’t just incremental improvements \u2013 they’re significant advancements in verification technology. The results? An impressive 14x speedup in standard cell library verification while maintaining high accuracy levels.<\/p>\n\n\n
