Role of Integrated Circuits

Integrated circuits (ICs) are the building blocks of modern electronics. They are found in every electronic device, from computers to cellular phones, and are entangled in the fabric of contemporary technological societies. ICs have made possible many of the world’s most important innovations, and have transformed the way we live.

Before the advent of ICs, circuits were built with discrete components like transistors and resistors wired together. The process was time-consuming and expensive, and the performance was often less than ideal. ICs offer greater functionality, faster speeds and much lower cost than traditional transistor-based designs.

The modern Integrated Circuits is all one piece, with millions or even billions of individual transistors and other devices on a single semiconductor wafer. A sliced portion of this wafer is known as a die. It is too small to solder, so a programmed special-purpose programming language is used to create and place tiny circuit elements on the die, which can be combined to meet the requirements of specific applications.

The Role of Integrated Circuits in the Development of 5G Technology

When designing a new IC, the first thing to decide is what functionality it needs to perform. This will inform a subsequent choice of the technologies that are available to implement it. The resulting design will then need to be tested. This testing is called simulation and is essential for ensuring the IC can function as intended.

A key aspect of simulation is parasitic extraction. It enables engineers to understand and predict the effects of the internal circuitry on the external signals, including power consumption, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and distortion. A good parasitic extraction tool will have a wide frequency range and be easy to use, allowing it to be incorporated into the IC design flow without disrupting workflows.

One of the key challenges for integrating 5G into networks will be the high data rates that the technology will support. The resulting ICs must be capable of handling enormous quantities of information and delivering exceptional transmission speeds while remaining cool and energy efficient. They also need to be able to dissipate heat quickly to prevent damage.

As they work to develop the next generation of wireless technology, IC designers need access to fast and accurate simulation tools. A high-performance PEX solution will be able to handle the complex signals involved in 5G networking and accurately model the impact of the internal circuitry on the external signals. The Siemens Calibre xACT platform is designed to be as user-friendly and fast as possible, so it can be integrated into the IC design flow with minimal disruption to the project.

The future of the world’s networks will depend on the ability of ICs to deliver ultra-low latency, exceptional transmission speeds and robust connections. To achieve these, the IC manufacturing industry must innovate rapidly. This requires a combination of cutting-edge technology and agile engineering, with the support of advanced parasitic extraction tools that can be applied to complex models with ease and confidence. To accelerate the development of these tools, Siemens is working with TSMC to collaborate on an integrated photonics ecosystem.
