Synopsys Launches Multiphysics Fusion for Advanced Chip Design

Synopsys Unveils Game-Changing Multiphysics Fusion Solutions for Chip Designers and Manufacturers in ASEAN and Beyond \\[](https://via.placeholder.com/1200x630)\\ In a move that promises to revolutionize the way chips are designed and manufactured, Synopsys, Inc. has launched its first Multiphysics Fusion solutions. These cutting-edge tools are designed to address the increasing complexity of modern chip design, particularly at advanced nodes and in multi-die architectures. For ASEAN factories, this means a significant leap forward in terms of design predictability, efficiency, and overall performance. \\[](https://via.placeholder.com/1200x630)\\ As the demand for high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) systems continues to grow, the need for a combined electronic design automation (EDA) and multiphysics approach becomes more critical. The Multiphysics Fusion portfolio integrates Synopsys EDA tools with Ansys signoff analysis, covering timing signoff, design closure, multi-die analysis, and analog and photonic design workflows. This integration aims to improve design predictability and support convergence for AI and HPC systems. \\[](https://via.placeholder.com/1200x630)\\ **Multiphysics-aware Co-Design Across the Chip Design Flow** \\ Building on the direction introduced at Synopsys Converge 2026, the first Multiphysics Fusion solutions include GPU-accelerated flows using NVIDIA CUDA-X libraries such as cuDSS. These solutions provide SPICE-accurate multiphysics timing analysis, which Synopsys claims can run up to three times faster than traditional methods. The flow integrates Synopsys PrimeTime® with RedHawk-SC and RedHawk-SC Electrothermal, along with full-spectrum RC extraction using Synopsys StarRC and multiphysics HFSS-IC, to account for IR, thermal, and stress effects in timing analysis. \\[](https://via.placeholder.com/1200x630)\\ **Benefits for ASEAN Factories** \\ For factories in Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia, these solutions offer a range of benefits. Improved design predictability and faster runtimes mean that manufacturers can bring their products to market more quickly and with higher quality. Additionally, the ability to handle complex multi-die designs and co-packaged optics is particularly valuable for the growing semiconductor industry in the region. \\[](https://via.placeholder.com/1200x630)\\ **Early Adoption by Industry Leaders** \\ Early work with semiconductor and systems companies, including the Cisco Silicon One group, has already demonstrated the potential of these solutions. By incorporating IR drop effects within signoff design closure, these companies can gain earlier visibility into operating conditions and optimize power integrity issues, leading to better power, performance, and area tradeoffs. \\[](https://via.placeholder.com/1200x630)\\ **Availability and Next Steps** \\ The Multiphysics Fusion solutions for timing signoff, design closure, multi-die design, and analog and photonic design are now available. For ASEAN factories looking to stay ahead in the competitive landscape, adopting these solutions could be a game-changer.
