Overview

As semiconductor complexity accelerates with advanced nodes, chiplets, and 3DIC integration, robust ESD protection requires verification earlier in the flow. PathFinder-SC shifts signoff simulations to the design stage earlier using cell-based modeling of discharge circuits  derived from GDS/OASIS of design and/or Place&Route design data (DEF/LEF). This combines certified accuracy with cloud-native capacity to handle effective resistance, current density, and CDM checks across full-chip and multi-die designs. PathFinder-SC utilizes the same extraction and EM calculation engine as Redhawk-SC, certified by major foundries, which can help detect potential silicon failures. Its layout-based debugging and compact modeling extend reliability from die to package to board. Seamlessly integrated into modern verification flows, PathFinder-SC empowers teams to accelerate signoff, mitigate risk, and deliver future-proof designs for HPC, AI/ML, and 5G/6G systems.
