• For the first time, high-fidelity thermal simulation data can be shared in the electronic supply chain while protecting semiconductor OEM's intellectual property
• Siemens' Embeddable BCI-ROM technology provides reduced order models for the 3D CFD thermal simulation environment that maintains high accuracy in comparison to traditional fully detailed thermal models

sw.siemens.com/, Jan. 23, 2024 – 

Siemens Digital Industries Software announced today that it is bringing an innovative approach for sharing accurate thermal models of integrated circuit (IC) packages to the electronics supply chain. The main advantages are protecting intellectual property, enhancing supply chain collaboration and accuracy of models for steady state and transient thermal analysis to enhance design studies.

Introduced in the latest updates to Simcenter™ Flotherm™ software for electronics cooling simulation from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of industry software, the breakthrough Embeddable Boundary Condition Independent Reduced Order Model (BCI-ROM) technology allows a semiconductor company to generate an accurate model that can be shared with their clients for use in down-stream high-fidelity 3D thermal analysis without exposing the IC's internal physical structure.

MediaTek Inc., a global fabless semiconductor company and market leader in developing innovative systems-on-chip (SoC) for mobile, home entertainment, connectivity and Internet of Things (IoT) products, has taken advantage of Simcenter Flotherm to drive efficiency in its collaboration with customers. "Embeddable BCI-ROM is a great way to share our thermal models with our customers. It has several key features: easy generation, confidentiality, low error rate, and suitability for steady-state and transient applications," said Jimmy Lin, Technical Manager, MediaTek Inc.
