Mentor, a Siemens business, today announced that several tools in its Calibre™ nmPlatform and Analog FastSPICE (AFS™) Platform have been certified on TSMC's 5nm FinFET process technology. Mentor also announced it has successfully completed reference flow materials in support of TSMC's innovative System-on-Integrated-Chips (TSMC-SoIC™) multi-chip 3D stacking technology.

"Mentor has yet again increased its value to TSMC's ecosystem by offering more features and solutions in support of our most advanced process," said Suk Lee, TSMC senior director, Design Infrastructure Management Division. "The collaborative efforts combining Mentor's tools with TSMC's industry-leading process can enable our mutual customers to quickly launch their silicon innovations in high-growth markets, including smart mobile and high-performance applications."

Mentor's enhanced tools for TSMC's 5nm FinFET process

Mentor worked closely with TSMC to certify its Calibre nmDRC™, Calibre nmLVS™, Calibre YieldEnhancer, Calibre PERC™ and AFS Platform software on TSMC's 5nm FinFET process for the benefit of mutual customers. For example, Mentor's Calibre PERC reliability verification solution on TSMC's 5nm FinFET technology is engineered to help enhance product reliability by making leakage checks available for full chip designs. Running these checks can help mutual customers ensure that excess leakage is avoided for optimal design performance.

In addition, Mentor's AFS Platform certification for TSMC's most advanced process allows Mentor customers targeting analog, mixed-signal and radio frequency (RF) designs to verify their chips with confidence on TSMC's 5nm FinFET process.
