Latest Application Notes
- LD22613 PeakViews EM Design Platform for Large-Scale 3DIC Systems in the New AI Era: PeakView now supports multi-level IC/3DIC/Packaging EM-cosim with arbitrary combinations and unlimited layers. This document dives into the details for applying this feature to your most ambitious design ideas. It includes multiple examples of using PeakView connection files for Wafer-on-Wafer, IC-CoWoS, IC-PKG, and more EM co-simulations.
- LD22612 PeakView Leading the 3D EM Design and Signoff in the New AI Era: This document provides a qualitative benchmark of PeakView against other EM tools in the market based on a list of reference parameters: EM accuracy and quality, computer-aided design of passive devices, EM simulation capacity, EM parasitic inductance extraction, and EM co-sim/foundry data integration (IC, 3DIC, PKG).
- LD22632_Achieving the Ultimate EM Simulation Signoff Accuracy up to TeraHz in the New AI Era: Can a tool really do EM “signoff” to eliminate human error and knowledge gap? This is only achieved with 3D accuracy and proper boundary conditions. This document encloses some basic concepts and critical design scenarios, where 2.5D/planar3D provide misleading results; leading critical implications making 3D accuracy the golden reference.
- LD22674_Severe Skin Effects in and Design Guideline for mmWave Designs – A 3D Perspective: Our understanding tells us that increasing the width contributes to high Q devices, but what happens when the width of the inductors is greater than the skin depth? Will the Q keep increasing? These questions are answered with EM results and visualizations in this document.
- LD20728 EM Ground and Boundary Conditions in mmWave IC Designs: This appnote focuses on EM Ground, which is one of the critical boundary conditions that may impact EM results if not defined properly. A reliable EM model is unique, which means its behavior is not highly dependent on user modifications. One key pillar in achieving an accurate mmWave EM model is the proper EM ground and boundary conditions settings.
- LD22633 Advanced 3D Visualization of EM Fields and Meshing in PeakView: This application note provides a comprehensive overview of the advanced visualization tools offered by PeakView, designed to simplify and enhance the analysis of complex EM designs. This application note serves as an essential guide for engineers, detailing how these features can be utilized to analyze, optimize, and validate EM designs efficiently.
- LD22280 TSV RF/mmWave modeling in PDK design environment based on Peakview 3D EM simulation: This new module generates a comprehensive PBM model based on the 3D EM simulation data of multiple TSVs. This method combines the accuracy of 3D EM simulation, the flexibility of special modeling, and convenience of PDK integration to provide the most reliable and versatile TSV RF/mmWave models.
- LD21678 PeakView Combo Cell for Powerful EM Isolation Analysis, EM Co-Simulations and Device Optimization: Combo Cell expands PeakView’s layout and EM simulation capabilities by allowing the user to parametrically combine multiple cells within PeakView for powerful EM co-simulations: advanced device design, EM isolation analysis, and IC-PKG EM co-simulation.
- LD22578 PeakView metalfill, ground, PGS, and guardring generation on arbitrary layouts Using Combo cells: This appnote focuses on the creation of MetalFills, Ground, PGS, and Guard Rings within PeakView. This flexibility allows users to create these elements as standalone components, making it easier to combine them with any layout or PCircuit as needed.
