Intel Custom Foundry customers are delivering powerful, innovative products thanks to the certification of ANSYS solutions for electromigration, power and electrostatic discharge reference flows for Intel 22nm FinFET low-power (22FFL) process technology. The supported tools from ANSYS and Intel Custom Foundry’s collaboration enable mutual customers to minimize design costs and risks while quickly bringing cutting-edge and reliable products to market. IoT and entry mobile products demand higher performance with less power consumption and excellent reliability. To achieve this today, multiple subsystems of an electronic product are combined into one or more integrated circuits known as a system on a chip (SoC). ANSYS simulation tools deliver needed accuracy while reducing turnaround time to meet the increased computational requirements caused by the growing design complexity of modern products. Advanced technology support in ANSYS RedHawk, ANSYS Totem and ANSYS PathFinder, including electromigration rule compliance, deliver greater reliability and manufacturability, as well as minimize risk and lower cost. Intel’s new 22FFL process technology offers a unique
