The Challenge

The organization sought support in several critical areas to enhance their semiconductor analysis capabilities. Firstly, they needed assistance in evaluating core performance against semiconductors designed by fabless customers, ensuring their products met high standards of efficiency and reliability. They also required expertise in testing various scenarios and performance metrics through detailed performance simulations, providing comprehensive insights into the semiconductors' functionality. Additionally, the organization looked for support in conducting packaging assessments from a variety of customers, ensuring that the packaging adhered to industry standards and met diverse client requirements.

The Solution

To support risk mitigation TechInsights provided scenarios through our Compute offering which evaluated:

Power Management
Power Gating
Materials Layering and Stacking
Thermal Analysis

This information helped the customer to validate assumptions about core performance and review process and packaging stacking information.

TechInsights analysis of competitor best practices in chip design assists companies in a range of important analyses including focusing on physical parameters and materials.

The Results

TechInsights products can help this organization reduce costs associated with design and development time by 15%, potentially saving $7.5 million a year. In addition, reducing the Core validation time by 3 months per design could save them $10 million a year per design.
