PGC collaborates with Synopsys to provide TSMC 3nm APR physical design service

With the recent booming development in advanced process application markets such as AI, 5G, HPC, cloud servers, analog ICs, and consumer electronics, the demand for Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC) has shown significant growth. PGC, as a strategic partner of TSMC Design Center Alliance (DCA), is dedicated to providing ASIC design service solutions. Teaming up with Synopsys, PGC offers TSMC 3nm APR physical design service, utilizing the Synopsys IC Compiler II design platform to meet the demands of advanced process technology.

TSMC 3nm FinFET (N3) technology transforms the transistor architecture from traditional planar design to vertical FinFET design, resembling fish fins in structure, hence termed “FinFET.” N3 represents a leading logic process technology node, effectively reducing leakage and power consumption. With the complexity of chip design increasing, combined with APR physical design service, precise optimization of Integrated Circuit (IC) performance, power consumption, and area (PPA) can be achieved.
