Ansys (ANSS), TSMC & Microsoft to Advance 3D-IC Stress Analysis
Read MoreHide Full Article
Ansys (ANSS - Free Report) announced a partnership with TSMC and Microsoft to develop a solution to analyze mechanical stress in multi-die 3D-IC systems produced using TSMC's 3DFabric advanced packaging.
This collaboration aims to address complex multiphysics requirements and ensure reliability for advanced designs. Ansys Mechanical runs efficiently on Microsoft Azure and facilitates quick analysis for intricate 2.5D/3D-IC systems. The goal is to tackle temperature-related stress that can damage connections within 3D-ICs, impacting their lifespan.
Ansys Mechanical, supported by Azure's high-performance computing infrastructure, scales up stress simulations effectively, which is crucial for analyzing growing semiconductor complexities. This collaboration aims to offer precise analysis results critical for designing robust 3D ICs using TSMC's latest 3DFabric technologies.
The joint effort by Microsoft, Ansys and TSMC addresses multiphysics challenges, expediting time-to-market while reducing the risk of costly field failures in 3D-ICs due to thermal stress. The collaboration uses Azure's cloud resources and elastic computing capabilities to create an advanced solution flow for semiconductor design challenges.
ANSYS develops and globally markets engineering simulation software and services widely used by engineers, designers, researchers and students across a spectrum of industries and academia.
The company reported third-quarter 2023 earnings of $1.41 per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 11.9%. The bottom line declined 20.3% year over year. Non-GAAP revenues of $458.8 million missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.7%. The top line decreased 3% (4% at constant currency or cc) from the year-ago quarter’s level.
