to launch 130nm automotive power semiconductor Calibre PERC PDK.
Siemens Digital Industries Software announced that SK keyfoundry, in collaboration with Korea Siemens EDA, has launched a 130nm automotive PDK (Process Design Kit) that is exclusively designed for use in Calibre PERC software. This marks a significant milestone as one of the first Korean domestic established node processes to provide not only schematic verification but also layout verification for interconnect reliability.
With this new PDK, a wide range of Korean domestic and international fabless companies can leverage SK keyfoundry’s 130nm process to enhance the design optimization of automotive power semiconductors, while at the same time doing more precise reliability verification.
The 130nm process has long been a stable choice in the analog and power semiconductor markets. However, due to increasing complexity of the designs now using 130nm processes, achieving high-performance semiconductor designs has been challenging. The newly offered SK keyfoundry‘s PDK allows designers to use Siemens’ Calibre PERC solution with SK keyfoundry’s process technologies, unleashing innovation and enabling design-stage verification that accounts for manufacturing constraints.
Looking forward, SK keyfoundry plans to further expand its collaboration with Siemens by providing optimized design solutions, enhanced semiconductor manufacturing reliability, and by strengthening its competitive position in the foundry market.
