Temperature Enabling Simulations Virtual Thermography Service Free: ΔT Screening Call
“Gradient is helping AMD achieve closure on interconnect electromigration verification and device reliability taking into account actual hot spot temperature and reduce unnecessary conservatism in designs. We’re able to achieve thermal modeling resolution down to a single via which significantly enhances our electromigration avoidance capability.”

Have You Found All of Your Temperature Hazards?

Have you ever had unexplained circuit behavior that could be blamed on temperature effects, but you were never certain?

Many designers are uncertain about the location or timing of temperature hazards in their IC designs. They may assume uniform temperature across the die, use coarse-grain package tools, or even use rules of thumb to estimate temperature.

Reduce Risk in 60 Minutes

Gradient offers a free service to help identify whether a chip may be at risk for thermal hazards. The free ΔT Screening Call brings together your designers with Gradient temperature experts to work through a detailed analysis of your risk factors, including:
  • Peak Power Density Risks
  • Temperature Assumption Risks
  • Time Varying Temperature Risks

The call takes 30-60 minutes. The only requirements are a telephone and an internet connection for each participant or group.

Deliverables

Before the call, each participant will receive a copy of the Gradient ΔT Screening Guide. This 8-page guide explores each of the risk factors above. It includes screening questions to help analyze the specific risk factors your chip may face.

During the call, Gradient temperature experts will lead the group through the ΔT Screening Guide, helping to identify which risk factors may apply to your design. After the call, Gradient will deliver a ΔT Risk Analysis, describing any identified risk factors, and recommending possible solutions.

Reduce Design Margins & Improve Performance

Some designers are forced to adopt excessive design margins to protect against temperature hazards. Others do not push their design to achieve its maximum performance, because they cannot accurately predict the temperature on sensitive circuits. Upon request, these topics can also be included in the Screening Call, to help identify opportunities to reduce unnecessary design margins and increase performance.
