Monozukuri to Present at DATE
3D Design Workshop

Rome – March 21, 2023

Will demonstrate industry’s first fully integrated
IC/Package Co-optimization Tool  

Anna Fontanelli, Monozukuri S.p.A. CEO and Founder, will demonstrate MZ-GENIOTM, the first integrated IC/Packaging EDA tool, during the “Advanced 3D architecture and design methodology” session at DATE 2023.

Ms. Fontanelli’s presentation is part of the “3D Integration: Heterogeneous 3D Architectures and Sensors” session scheduled for Wednesday, April 19th in Antwerp Belgium.

During her session, Ms. Fontanelli will show how the MZ- GENIOTM holistic design environment spans the complete 3D design ecosystem.  In doing so, its co-design platform enables a revolutionary approach to integrating with physical implementation tools in both IC and Package design spaces, as well as performing signal, power integrity and thermal analysis for physical-aware and simulation-aware system interconnect optimization.

She will reveal how GENIO’s novel approach creates never-before-seen levels of IC system integration that shortens the design cycle by two orders of magnitude, drives faster time-to-manufacturing, improves yields, and streamlines the entire IC eco-system to enable function-intensive IC-designs that will be the backbone for the most advanced next-generation integrated circuits.

“With integrated circuits continuously shrinking and the evolutionary complexity of process technology, Moore’s Law is entering a bottleneck,” Ms. Fontanelli points out. “At present, 3D integration is a new hope to solve this dilemma.”

“Shrinking transistors below a 1-nanometer node gets closer to the technology’s limit.  To further scale IC-functionality means moving “off chip” to vertical IC integration. This, Ms. Fontanelli explains, is the most practical way – perhaps the only way – to increase design complexity, reduce time-to-market and lower per unit costs.  Certainly, it’s more economically viable than extreme miniaturization,” she claims.

GENIOTM features system architecture exploration, what-if analysis, 3D interconnect management, I/O planning and optimization, integrated within all existing EDA implementation platforms.  It’s optimization algorithms tame the computational complexity of 3D designs. It supports all system architectures (2D, 2.5D, 3D configurations), all assembly styles (wire-bonding, flip-chip, and mixed) and all design flows (die-driven, package-driven, a mixture of top-down & bottom-up).

GENIOTM 1.7 Further Shortens Design

GENIOTM 1.7 brings new integrated design checks and issue tracking features that reduce design time spent on this onerous step by tracking and classifying, real time, potential design process issues.

GENIOTM 1.7
Further Shortens Design

Rome – December 22, 2022

New Integrated Design Checks & Issue Tracking

 Violations.  Perhaps the biggest Advanced IC/Packaging system design time sink.  They snarl the most elegant design.  They frustrate well-conceived time-to-market schedules.

MZ Technologies feels your pain.  Now, GENIOTM 1.7 brings relief with new integrated design checks and issue tracking features that reduce design time spent on this onerous step by tracking and classifying, real time, potential design process issues.

Using a dedicated always-on dock GENIOTM 1.7 alerts designers to a full list of problems classified by severity, scope, and category. This extensive check updates after any operation with new violations appearing in the “Issues Dock.”

Select an issue in the dedicated dock and all errors and warning are highlighted with a severity-driven colour across the GUI and the 2D/3D design views.

GENIOTM 1.7 performs several categories of checks.  Key among them are checks on placement rules during floor planning to catch violations such as overlapping instances, out of boundary placement, and ignored keep-out zones.  Other checks spot vertical routing connectivity issues, such as broken nets and crossing fly lines.

Don’t let violations boondoggle your time-to-design.

Moore’s Law Inevitable Decline Opens New Path to IC Innovation

“Moore’s Law” will inevitably come to a screeching halt, says Monozukuri CEO and Founder, Anna Fontanelli.

Moore’s Law Inevitable Decline Opens New Path to IC Innovation

Rome – December 15, 2022

The monolithic IC give way to multiple device packages  

“Moore’s Law” will inevitably come to a screeching halt, says Monozukuri CEO and Founder, Anna Fontanelli. Integrating chiplet, package and integrated circuit (IC) systems through a seamless IC/packaging co-design methodology re-opens the path to next gen IC innovation.

Ms. Fontanelli shared her prediction and resolution with semiconductor leaders recently at SemIsrael, addressing why a broad swath of the world’s population should pay attention to the growing importance of advanced packaging and 3D integration.

“With integrated circuits continuously shrinking and the continuous evolution of technological processes, Moore’s Law is entering a bottleneck,” Ms. Fontanelli pointed out. “At present, 3D integration technology is a new hope to solve this dilemma.”

Shrinking transistors below a 1-nanometer node gets closer to the technology’s limit.  To further scale IC-functionality means moving “off chip” to vertical IC integration. This, Ms. Fontanelli explains, is the most practical way – perhaps the only way – to increase design complexity, reduce time-to-market and lower per unit costs.  Certainly, it’s more economically viable than extreme miniaturization, she claims.

Key to this new direction is that stand-alone ICs … sensors, memories, microprocessors, and RF … can now be integrated into a single unit on configurable silicon substrates and advanced packaging technologies.

Stacking chips horizontally and vertically makes possible another step up in performance and expanding the Moore’s law.  However, the move from traditional planar design to 3D integration brings many challenges.

New EDA tools, methodologies and flows must be developed to automate IC, package and ultimately the entire electronic system design process, while at the same time reducing design time, and enabling greater integration.

Ms. Fontanelli then introduced Monozukuri’s GENIOTM.  GENIOTM was the first integrated IC/Packaging EDA tool on the market.  It facilitates the widespread use of 3D-ICs, enabling the design of complex heterogeneous configurations.  It’s advanced co-design environment integrates with traditional package and IC design tools through a standard format that streamlines the design flow.

GENIOTM features system architecture exploration, what-if analysis, 3D interconnect management, I/O planning and optimization, integrated within all existing EDA implementation platforms.  It’s optimization algorithms tame the computational complexity of 3D designs. It supports all system architectures (2D, 2.5D, 3D configurations), all assembly styles (wire-bonding, flip-chip, and mixed) and all design flows (die-driven, package-driven, a mixture of top-down & bottom-up).

GENIO Version 1.6 Now Includes Parasitic Estimation and Stack Planning Functionalities

GENIOTM Co-Design EDA Tool Now Includes Parasitic Estimation and Stack Planning Functionalities. GENIO 1.6 Significantly Reduces Advanced Systems Total Design Time and Complexity.

GENIOTM Co-Design EDA Tool
Now Includes Parasitic Estimation
and Stack Planning Functionalities

 

Rome – January 18, 2022

GENIO 1.6 Significantly Reduces Advanced Systems
Total Design Time and Complexity

MZ Technologies today unveiled GENIO Version 1.6 that now includes Parasitic Estimation and Stack Planning functionalities to further slash total design time and reduces overall design complexity.

GENIOTM remains the only integrated-from-the-ground up chiplet-packaging Co-design EDA tool and the addition of the two new functions further increase its ability to meet 2.5D and 3D advanced packaging design challenges.

Parasitic Estimation enhances GENIO’s time-to-design superiority.  This function enables early-on system analysis, based on virtual routes, prior to physical implementation. Parasitic Estimation is usually implemented after a chiplet-based system design and its system-level interconnects have optimized end-to-end 3D-aware signal assignment.

GENIOTM produces a pre-routing Parasitic Estimations report, based on Manhattan distances and coupled with RC and TSV/bump/C4/balls contributions, to enable early-on Static Timing Analysis.  The key value is the ability to conduct static timing analysis during system exploration without waiting the results of the lengthy detailed physical routing process.

The Stack Planning Support helps designers automatically identify the best possible 3D stack configuration, given physical and electrical constraints. The new floor planning methodology provides a more efficient chiplet-based 3D-IC system organization, optimizing electrical performances and reducing the physical resources (TSVs) required for vertical interconnect.

Stack Planning provides a detailed comparison of multiple floor planning scenarios that allow the early comparison of multiple architecture configurations.

Floor plan configurations are tagged and compared. Connectivity Status dialog displays net lengths/statistics and can be filtered by Net Name, Net Group, path, sub-paths.

 

New 3D stack planning features are specifically designed to setup system initial configuration, improve exploration of all possible configurations, optimize and compare the most promising ones and finally suggest the optimal final solution.

In addition, Stack Planning improves manufacturability design efficiency by automating 3D-IC exploration focusing on the most promising configurations, allowing for trade-off between number/cost of TSV vs. signal path/sub-path lengths.

Below examples of 3D Stack Planning Interconnect Optimization on Selected Configurations.

GENIO Version 1.6 began beta besting in January and will be available for selected customers, full production and general availability by end of Q1 this year.

MZ Technologies Rolls Out New Technology Roadmap

MZ Technologies has released its roadmap for its device/packaging Co-Design EDA tools that lays out an agenda of added features and reveals plans for generation 2.0 GENIOTM IC/package co-design tool.

MZ Technologies has released its roadmap for its device/packaging Co-Design EDA tools that lays out an agenda of added features and reveals plans for generation 2.0 GENIOTM IC/package co-design tool.

 

Rome – July 29, 2021

GENIOTM became the first commercially available IC/package co-design tool when MZ Technologies began taking order in August, 2020.  The roadmap calls for additional features to the current tool set.  Expected in the first quarter of next year is availability of a parasitic estimation capability and stack planning support.

Parasitic Estimation and Stack Planning Support

Parasitic Estimation enhances GENIO’s time-to-design superiority.  This function enables early-on system analysis, based on virtual routes, prior to physical implementation. Parasitic Estimation should be implemented after a chiplet-based system design and its system-level interconnects have optimized end-to-end 3D-aware signal assignment. Parasitic Estimation then simulates a process-static timing analysis.  The more technology information that is available, the more accurate is the estimation.

Stack Planning Support helps the designer to automatically identify the best possible 3D stack configuration, given physical and thermal constraints. This new floor planning methodology provides a more efficient chiplet-based 3D-IC system organization, optimizing for effective heat dissipation and reducing the physical resources (TSVs) required for vertical interconnect.

The roadmap also identifies four other upgrades and reveals plans to introduce GENIO 2.0 sometime in 2023.

 

First Available Integrated Co-Design Tool

GENIO’s proprietary, fully integrated EDA co-design tool features an end-to-end IC and packaging platform for 2D/2.5D/3D system design.  To date, the platform’s environment-agnostic feature has attracted significant interest, with a number of big-name companies conducting feasibility trials.
GENIOTM integrates existing silicon and package EDA flows to create full co-design and optimization of complex multi-chip designs that comprise advanced heterogeneous microelectronic systems.
“As the company who rolled out the first commercially available co-design tool, we feel an obligation to the EDA community to continue to innovate.,” said Anna Fontanelli, Founder and CEO of MZ Technologies.  “Advance packaging is clearly the pathway to keeping the spirit of Moore’s Law alive across the entire semiconductor industry spectrum.”
GENIO’s complete cross-hierarchical, 3D-aware, design methodologies streamline the entire IC eco-system.  It integrates IC and advanced packaging design to ensure full system level optimization, shorten the design cycle, drive faster time-to-manufacturing and improve yields.
