Taking 2.5D/3D IC physical verification to the next level

February 21, 2024

Taking 2.5D/3D IC physical verification to the next level. As package designs continue to evolve, so must the verification requirements. Designers working on even the most complex multi-die, multi-chiplet stacked configurations require enhanced checking capabilities to quickly and easily verify that the physical die are placed correctly to ensure proper connectivity and electrical behavior.

A deep dive into HDAP LVS/LVL verification

January 29, 2024

EDA companies are developing tools and workflows to support HDAP (High-density advanced packaging) LVS/LVL verification. Though the data for achieving “signoff-level” confidence is a work in progress, EDA companies are providing tools that can adapt to different levels of data availability and enable HDAP designers to execute HDAP LVS/LVL flows that are both productive and beneficial.
