ROME, Italy, Jan 28, 2025 – MZ Technologies unveiled GENIO EVO, the first integrated chiplet/package EDA tool to address in pre-layout stage the two major issues of 3D-IC design, thermal and mechanical stress.
GENIO EVO is the second generation of GENIO, which was the EDA’s first successful integrated chiplet/package co-design tool. GENIO, MZ’s flagship product, is a cross-fabric platform for system design providing chiplet/die, silicon interposer, package, and surrounding PCB co-design features that achieve area, power, and performance targets. The tool works with any technology and connects easily using standard formats. It supports commercial implementation platforms or custom EDA workflows through dedicated plug-ins.
Like the original, GENIO EVO fits into any existing design flow and operates at the architecture level, pathfinding the optimal system choices to implement a 2.5D or 3D multi-die design.
A new user interface fronts a cross-hierarchical, 3D-aware design methodology that streamlines the entire system design process. IC and advanced packaging design are integrated to ensure full system level optimization, with a shorter design cycle, faster time-to-manufacturing, and improved yields.
GENIO EVO identifies and analyzes thermal and mechanical failures. It supports early design decisions by enabling architectural exploration and “what-if” scenarios. This helps improve accuracy during implementation process. It anticipates and avoids future thermal and mechanical problems by planning and managing high pin count connections in complex multi-fabric system design.
Aside from its design capabilities, GENIO EVO improves cross-team communications because components of any nature can be imported from different design environments.
“MZ Technologies was the first EDA company to deliver a commercially available co-design tool three years ago and now GENIO EVO is first tool to successfully anticipate and fix mechanical and thermal failures prior to design iteration,” said Anna Fontanelli, founder and CEO of MZ Technologies.
