PLANO, TX, Dec 17, 2025 – Toshiba has deployed Siemens EDA software to accelerate power and analog semiconductor development. The tools aim to improve design efficiency for advanced power devices and analog semiconductors.
“Toshiba has introduced Siemens’ EDA tools to advance semiconductor design sophistication and accelerate development speed and we have begun trials to strengthen our design environment using these tools, aiming to improve design accuracy in analog–digital co-design, streamline verification processes, and improving development workflows,” said Yoshinari Ojima, senior manager of Toshiba’s design engineering development department, IC development center. “Through these efforts, we will further reinforce the quality and reliability we have already established, not only in power devices and analog semiconductors but also in digital and mixed-signal semiconductors. Building on our long-cultivated proprietary technological expertise, Toshiba will drive innovative semiconductor development that meets market needs through collaboration with these EDA tools.”
“We are delighted that Toshiba has introduced a broad range of our EDA software for its power device and analog semiconductor development design flows,” said Yukio Tsuchida, vice president for Japan, Siemens EDA, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “We look forward to supporting Toshiba on its journey to enhanced design excellence and to help it to deliver transformational change in its design processes with the power, precision and performance of Siemens’ EDA technology.”
Toshiba’s deployment of Siemens’ EDA tools includes:
Advanced Thermal Design and Analysis for 3D IC Architectures
Toshiba is using Siemens tools to address thermal issues in 3D IC designs. The company uses the Innovator3D IC suite to create, simulate and manage 2.5D/3D IC designs. Toshiba also uses Calibre 3DThermal software to support chip and package thermal co-design. The approach evaluates thermal behavior from feasibility through final sign-off. Toshiba said the process helps optimize package design and improve product reliability through thermal modeling.
Power Optimization, Integrity and Reliability Enhancement
Toshiba is shifting power and reliability analysis earlier in its design flow using Siemens EDA tools. Insight Analyzer and mPower Analog EMIR support leakage optimization and Electromigration and IR-drop (EMIR) verification. PowerPro Designer analyzes RTL earlier to reduce power consumption.
Next-Generation Analog Simulation Acceleration
Toshiba is using Siemens Solido Simulation Suite to speed analog and mixed-signal verification and improve simulation accuracy. AI features in Solido Design Environment run variation simulations and statistical analysis to strengthen design robustness.
