SFT Introduces Critical Semiconductor Design Products For ESD & Electro-Thermal Analysis

Demos Set for 50th DAC, June 2-6, Austin, Texas, Booth 2133

Campbell, CA (Marketwired) - Silicon Frontline Technology, Inc. (SFT), a leader in 3D parasitic extraction and semiconductor device analysis, is announcing two semiconductor analysis products -- ESRA and Ethan -- and first-time demonstrations at the 50th Design Automation Conference (DAC) in Austin, Texas next month at booth #2133.

ESRA offers designers comprehensive verification and optimization strategies to improve electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. Ethan provides electro-thermal simulation of power devices including packages.

"We are using DAC to introduce our ESD and electro-thermal analysis products," said Yuri Feinberg, CEO. "ESRA is the first product to offer comprehensive ESD verification, covering full chip and cell level. Ethan provides electro-thermal analysis for power devices, taking into account the semiconductor and package."

What's New

ESRA verifies ESD protection for semiconductors. It allows designers to:

  • Verify the full chip for ESD reliability
  • Pinpoint areas susceptible to failure
  • Work on pre- and post- LVS (Layout versus schematic) clean designs
  • Handle CDM (charged device model), MM (machine model) and HBM (human body model) ESD events
  • Optimize ESD device area

Ethan offers electro-thermal simulation of power devices with static and transient analysis. It automatically calculates the thermal impact on electrical performance while highlighting thermal gradients, thermal sensor operation, and impacts on sensitive analog circuits.
