Accelerate Design Project Management for Faster Time to Market
The challenge of simultaneously meeting customer project specifications and maintaining profit margin is exceedingly complex for modern semiconductor engineering organizations. It requires the ability to track and direct project execution in real time (including resources, planning and requirement)
to maximize project velocity. Yet, new, ever more complex semiconductor designs add to the project management challenge. Silicon Thinking Project and Portfolio Management Solution accelerates project management of complex new products through comprehensive requirements management and
real-time update visibility for all project stakeholders. Design change management oversight is streamlined and fewer mistakes are made. The result is faster time to market and improved customer satisfaction.

Accelerate Design Integration to Improve Return On Investment
Today’s semiconductor designs are most often assembled from diverse IP blocks, each with different integration specifications.With potentially hundreds of IP blocks to be integrated into a single design, the effort to complete the project on-time and yet be successfully manufactured is significant. Silicon Thinking Collaborative Design Solution is used today by over 120 development organizations, including 13 of the top 15 semiconductor companies, to reduce design integration costs and time. Based upon ENOVIA Synchronicity DesignSync, it efficiently manages design data for the entire semiconductor design team at both the system and component IP block levels It accelerates IP block integration using a ‘module’ abstraction approach that accelerates and enhances design integration tasks, a significant advantage over other Design Data Management (DDM) systems. As a result, IP reuse is improved, time-to-market is reduced, complexity management is simplified and ultimately , ROI is increased for design projects.
Accelerate Package Testing and Validation to Improve Product Quality
Smaller device packaging and more hostile use environments (e.g., sports video) place greater demands on the performance and reliability of semiconductor packages. Comprehensive testing
of integrated circuit (IC) packaging is critical to ensure device reliability. Yet to meet aggressive time-to-market deadlines, physical prototype testing must be augmented if not replaced with virtual simulation. Silicon Thinking Semiconductor Verification and Validation Solution reduces the need for physical prototypes through virtual testing and lifecycle prediction. The solution is based on the market leading SIMULIA Abaqus FEA application suite. Various simulation methods allow robust coupled-field analysis of thermal, electrical, mechanical (both static and dynamic), and moisture-sensitivity load regimes.
The solution provides detailed insight into design behavior under a variety of manufacturing/assembly loads, shipping and handling conditions, operating conditions, and material characterization.
