Semiconductor design: Linking design to manufacturing for a sustainable semiconductor future

Semiconductor sustainability starts with design and the decisions made during the design process affect sustainability. This is amplified as we transition to the heterogeneous integration of chiplets using advanced substrate platforms such as 2.5/3D in order to continue silicon scaling. By linking the digital twins for semiconductor design to the digital twin of a semiconductor fab, design details can be fed forward to optimize fabs for sustainability and manufacturing data can be fed back to optimize design libraries and decisions.

In this fireside chat session, EE Times' Sally Ward-Foxton chats with Siemens EDAs Michael Munsey about the evolution of the digital twin, how new solutions aid design and manufacturability, and the start of a new semiconductor era.
