All FinFET foundries have used and certified the Galaxy Design Platform

Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNPS) today announced that its GalaxyTM Design Platform design platform supports 90% of FinFET-based production streams. More than 20 industry leaders around the world have successfully completed more than 100 FinFET tapes using this platform. Including Samsung, Intel Custom Foundry, Global Foundries and other foundries successfully used test chips and FinFET production streams for common customers using the Galaxy Design Platform, including Achronix, Creative Electronics (GUC), HiSilicon Technologies, Marvell, Netronome, NVIDIA, Samsung, etc., represent a diverse application market, including consumer electronics, wireless communications, graphics processing, and micro processing. Fields such as devices and network equipment.

FinFET-based process nodes offer several advantages, including greater density, lower power, and higher performance. To achieve these benefits, the new innovative technology in the Galaxy Design Platform implementation tool seamlessly handles a number of new design rules associated with moving from planar to 3D transistors. Synopsys is actively working with foundry partners to ensure that all tools in the Galaxy Design Platform have been updated to support the various process changes brought about by FinFET devices, including multiple exposures and local interconnect structures. Updated tools include Design CompilerTM logic synthesis solution, TetraMAX® ATPG, IC Compiler and IC Compiler II place and route solutions, PrimeTime® checkout solution, StarRCTM parasitic extraction, HSPICE®, CustomSimTM and FineSimTM simulation Products, Galaxy Custom Designer? Circuit diagrams and Laker? layout tools, and IC Validator physical verification.

"We have maintained a long-term and close relationship with foundry and end customers using FinFET technology, which enables Synopsys to reach this important milestone," said Antun Domic, executive vice president and general manager of Synopsys, Synopsys. "In the past few years, many companies have deployed the Galaxy Design Platform for mass production of semiconductor products using FinFET devices. Our customers demand the highest performance and lowest power consumption to drive them to FinFETs. Design People can confidently use Galaxy tools for their FinFET designs and get excellent results."
