TSMC certifies Siemens EDA tools on AWS for N2/N3 process node technology

TSMC, Siemens EDA, and AWS have collaborated to certify Siemens electronic design automation (EDA) tools on AWS Cloud for advanced N2/N3 process node technology. This milestone represents a significant advancement in semiconductor design workflows.

• Created a secure cloud chamber architecture using AWS Scale-Out Computing solution
• Implemented robust security controls including network access control, VPC flow logs, and multi-factor authentication
• Tested seven TSMC sign-off Siemens EDA production flows across various simulation types
• Achieved consistent and identical results between cloud and on-premises environments
• Demonstrated cloud computing's potential to provide scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness for semiconductor design

The project highlights the growing importance of cloud computing in semiconductor design and sets a new standard for collaborative, secure, and efficient chip development workflows.
