SAMSUNG FOUNDRY

Samsung Foundry provides fundamental RTL-to-GDS design methodology documents and scripts(so called "Foundry DM") to help customers to design sophisticated products in Samsung Foundry process. Samsung Foundry DM integrates Samsung Foundry's decades of experience in building top-notch mobile and consumer products by tackling all the UDSM process node challenges. It is silicon-proven and PPA-optimized providing the shortest path to most competitive product in industry.
Also, through in-depth collaboration with EDA companies, Samsung Foundry provides EDA reference flow. With EDA reference flow development, all major EDA tools are certified in Samsung Foundry process and EDA tool chain / flow is validated with Samsung Foundry standards.

[Automotive]

As the automotive industry moved to autonomous vehicles, a variety of safty measures have been integrated into modern vehicles. Currently, a huge number of electronic components are integrated into vehicles as a part of implemented safety mechanisms. Automotive SoCs must be designed to give a certain level of quality/reliabilty, and functional safety. Accordingly, automotive SoCs must be compliant with two representative standards such as ISO 26262 on functional safety and AEC-Q100 on stress test driven qualification. Samsung Foundry provides automotive design methodology that addresses the need of customers to obtain a qualified and reliable design. Figure illustrates the dedicated solutions for automotive SoC design which should be considered to comply with automotive standards and automotive-specific requirements. In the figure, solutions illustrated in navy boxes are tied to ISO 26262 and solutions illustrated in green boxes are tied to AEC-Q100 and AEC-Q004. For more information on each solution, refer to the respective documents.

[High Performance Computing]

The era of HPC applications demands a robust and accurate system design methodology to handle the vast and varied technology challenges to be overcome in the multiple domains of SI/PI/Thermal/Testability. Samsung Foundry is well positioned with its vast experience and innovative design flows to help its customers implement their HPC designs with excellent design infrastructure and service to promote fast TAT and high first-pass tape-outs. For further information on any aspects of the HPC design flow and how Samsung could help your HPC product to ramp up to volume production, feel free to reach out to your nearest or designated Samsung representative.

[Internet of Things(IoT)]

The IoT applications demand an ultra-low voltage and reliable design methodology to extend the lifetime in battery-operated devices, such a smart card, wireless sensor, and hearable, wearable, voice-controlled products. Ultra-low voltage design dramatically reduces energy consumptions while enabling reliable operation in IoT applications. However, it is very vulnerable to process, voltage, temperature variations. Samsung Foundry ultra low voltage solutions have addressed all of these challenges and it includes many advanced design solutions for energy-efficient design.
