Yesterday, Xinhe Semiconductor Technology, which has won the National Science and Technology Progress Award First Class and other honors as a national-level specialized and innovative small giant enterprise, announced that it has collaborated with Kirin Software to complete OS-level mutual certification.
This mutual certification covers five key EDA platforms of Xinhe Semiconductor:
2.5D/3D Advanced Packaging SI/PI Simulation Platform Metis: This platform provides full-link electromagnetic field rapid simulation and high-precision model extraction capabilities to address the complex electromagnetic coupling issues brought by interposer high-density interconnections and TSV vertical integration.
Board-Level Multi-Field Collaborative Simulation Platform Notus: A platform for SI/PI collaborative analysis, topology extraction, and electro-thermal-stress joint analysis in high-speed and high-frequency designs, enabling rapid analysis of signal, power, temperature, and stress distribution to accelerate user design iterations.
High-Speed System Verification Platform ChannelExpert: A universal verification platform for high-speed channel signals in both time and frequency domains, designed to quickly, accurately, and easily evaluate, analyze, and resolve high-speed channel signal integrity issues.
3D Full-Wave Electromagnetic Simulation Platform Hermes3D: This platform provides signal model extraction for packaging boards, electromagnetic simulation of arbitrary 3D structures, RLGC parameter extraction, and simulation of board-level antennas.
RF EDA Design Platform XDS: This platform supports RF system design from chip to package to module to PCB, featuring a PDK-driven field-circuit joint simulation process, an embedded rapid electromagnetic simulation engine based on the method of moments and finite element methods, and cross-scale simulation from chip to package.
It is reported that the above EDA platforms of Xinhe Semiconductor have completed certification for the Galaxy Kirin Advanced Server Operating System (Industrial Version) V10 (Zhaoxin/Huiguang/AMD64 version), covering mainstream design needs from chip to package to system in China, meeting the urgent demand for fully controllable autonomy in various fields such as artificial intelligence, data centers, communication base stations, automotive electronics, smart terminals, industrial equipment, new energy, and the Internet of Things. This mutual certification is an important practice in the collaborative innovation of domestic industrial software.
Why did Xinhe Semiconductor collaborate with Kirin Software to achieve OS-level mutual certification?
There are several reasons:
1. Promote the process of domestic autonomy and controllability
Reduce dependence on overseas tools: EDA tools are a critical link in chip design, and previously, many domestic high-end design and manufacturing enterprises relied on overseas EDA tools. The mutual certification between Xinhe Semiconductor and Kirin Software enables the stable operation of key EDA tools on domestic operating systems, helping domestic enterprises reduce the risk of dependence on overseas EDA tools and enhancing the autonomy and controllability of the industrial chain.
Build a fully autonomous ecosystem: This mutual certification is an important practice in the collaborative innovation of domestic industrial software, promoting the autonomy of the entire chain from “chip-EDA-OS-application” and providing underlying technical support for the intelligent upgrade of China’s manufacturing industry. This helps break foreign technology blockades and ensures the stable development of the domestic semiconductor industry.
2. Meet market demand and industry development trends
Cover mainstream design needs: The mutual certification covers mainstream design needs from chip to package to system, meeting the urgent demand for full-chain independent innovation in fields such as artificial intelligence, data centers, communication base stations, automotive electronics, smart terminals, industrial equipment, new energy, and the Internet of Things. This indicates that the cooperation between both parties can provide stable and efficient solutions for multiple important industries, aligning with market demand for domestic and intelligent products.
Adapt to intelligent transformation: Industrial software, under the influence of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, is undergoing a comprehensive, process-oriented, and full-chain high-level intelligent transformation, supporting the high-end, intelligent, and green development of the manufacturing industry. The collaboration between Xinhe Semiconductor and Kirin Software aligns with this trend, enhancing the overall level of domestic industrial software through technological integration and innovation, and assisting in industrial upgrades.
3. Enhance market competitiveness and technical strength of both parties
Strengthen market promotion advantages: Through Kirin Software’s compatibility mutual certification, Xinhe Semiconductor’s EDA products have gained official recognition, providing a competitive edge in market promotion. This helps Xinhe Semiconductor expand its market share, enhance brand awareness, and attract more customers to use its products.
Strengthen technical collaborative innovation capabilities: The deep cooperation between both parties promotes technical exchange and collaborative innovation. Xinhe Semiconductor can leverage Kirin Software’s technical accumulation in the operating system field to optimize the performance and stability of its EDA tools; Kirin Software further strengthens its support capabilities for industrial-grade application ecosystems. This technical complementarity helps both parties achieve greater technological breakthroughs in their respective fields and enhance overall competitiveness.
Assist enterprises in shortening R&D cycles: After mutual certification, enterprises can use Xinhe Semiconductor’s EDA tools more efficiently on domestic operating systems, thereby shortening R&D cycles and enhancing innovation efficiency. This is significant for domestic semiconductor enterprises to quickly respond to market demands and accelerate product iterations, contributing to the overall speed and efficiency of innovation in the industry.
4. Improve the ecosystem of domestic operating systems
Enrich Kirin Software’s application ecosystem: As a leading domestic operating system vendor, Kirin Software’s compatibility mutual certification has become a focus for many software vendors. The certification of Xinhe Semiconductor’s EDA products further enriches Kirin Software’s application ecosystem, enabling it to better support complex application scenarios such as high-end chip design and manufacturing, enhancing Kirin Software’s application value and market competitiveness in the industrial field.
Promote the development of domestic operating systems: The development of domestic operating systems requires extensive support from compatible software and applications. The collaboration between Xinhe Semiconductor and Kirin Software sets an example for other domestic software vendors, encouraging more enterprises to participate in the adaptation and optimization of domestic operating systems, collectively promoting the improvement and development of the domestic operating system ecosystem.
