Synopsys and Samsung Foundry Enable 3nm Process Technology for Power- and Performance-Demanding Mobile, HPC and AI Designs
Multiple Successful Tapeouts Validate Product Readiness of Synopsys' Digital and Custom Design Flows, Certified by Samsung Foundry
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Oct. 3, 2022 -- To drive adoption of Samsung's 3nm gate-all-around (GAA) technology for designs requiring optimal power, performance and area (PPA), Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced that its longstanding collaboration with Samsung Foundry has produced multiple successful test chip tapeouts on Synopsys digital and custom design tools and flows, certified for Samsung Foundry's most advanced process. Mutual customers using Samsung Foundry's SF3 technology can benefit from the approximately 50% reduced power, 30% improved performance and 30% smaller area that the technology node has demonstrated versus the Samsung SF5E process.
"Today's demanding mobile, high-performance computing and AI applications require power and performance levels that stretch the limits of small geometries," said Sangyun Kim, corporate vice president of the Foundry Design Technology Team at Samsung Electronics. "Our longstanding collaboration with Synopsys on EDA design flow certifications provides mutual customers with substantial power, performance and area advantages."
