ENOVIA for the Semiconductor Industry

Semiconductor companies face intense pressures in today’s marketplace, including escalating design costs, growing product complexity, shrinking sales prices, and a compelling need to increase the pace at which they innovate.  When combined with daunting design challenges, accelerated development lifecycles and complex supply chains, these difficult conditions can lead to slipped product launch dates, budget overruns and missed quality targets.

Your company can improve new product development with ENOVIA semiconductor solutions that solve these typical challenges throughout the product development lifecycle, including:

  • Managing complex IC configurations for both analog and digital. Automate design processes and tasking.
  • Managing issues from all levels of the organization, design to execution; Automate processes and tasking.
  • Managing multiple versions and data types; IP usage analysis (where-used), template IP profiles.
  • Managing business processes for developing complex semiconductor products, including project tasks, deliverables, resources and risks, across multiple locations and partners. Improve visibility and accountability.
  • Enabling "data-driven project management" where changes to design data are immediately reflected in project plan.
  • Collaborating with fabrication and IP partners on handoff of product configurations, mask prep, assembly, and test collaboration.
  • Modeling semiconductor product design and development processes that can solve complex business problems.
Dr. Roland Pudelko,CEO of Digital Imaging Systems

“ENOVIA solutions enable us to optimize our development processes across the company, to better compete with larger semiconductor manufacturers, through shorter product cycles and reduced time to market.

PLM Solutions for the Semiconductor Industry
  • The ENOVIA Semiconductor Accelerator for Team Collaboration provides capabilities to address a number of key business challenges specific to the Semiconductor industry. The standard capabilities provide web-based issue management and collaboration in secure, structured, virtual workplaces for ad-hoc collaboration amongst cross-functional and geographically dispersed teams. Members can collaborate on design data, documents and other product content through discussions, notifications, alerts and review/approval processes. In addition, this offering provides optional capabilities for IP management, enterprise project management, and preparation of the IC bill-of-material.
  • The optional capabilities activated with the ENOVIA Semiconductor Accelerator for IP Management Solution are for IP and design reuse, which enables companies to achieve a competitive advantage by accelerating semiconductor development and delivery. It makes it easy for IP catalog owners to classify and organize data in a hierarchy that is tailored to their company's business environment and products.
  • The optional capabilities activated with ENOVIA Semiconductor Accelerator for Enterprise Project Management Solution includes a number of pre-configured design flow templates, which allow companies to begin new design projects using a consistent process across all design teams and locations. Templates can be used as-is or modified to include a company’s best practices. The result is design teams working in a consistent, auditable fashion.
  • The optional capabilities activated with ENOVIA Semiconductor Accelerator for Design to Manufacturing (D2M) Solution enable preparation of the IC bill-of-material. It aligns Marketing Requirements to Design Outputs and assures the efficient flow of the right information at the right time across Product Design, Manufacturing, Assembly and Test.
