Siemens Digital Industries Software announced that South Korea-based nepes corporation, a global leader in Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) services, has leveraged a range of industry-leading solutions from Siemens EDA to tackle the broad range of complex thermal, mechanical, and other IC packaging design challenges associated with developing advanced 3D-IC packages.
“nepes is committed to providing us with the most comprehensive portfolio of semiconductor packaging design and manufacturing services, to help us innovate and succeed in a market where high performance and compact form factors are critical.” said Brad Seo, vice president of SAPEON Korea’s R&D center. “By expanding nepes’ adoption and usage of Siemens’ EDA technologies for advanced packaging, we also can achieve the innovative technologies necessary to grow.”
nepes has an established track record of providing customers with world-class packaging, testing, and semiconductor assembly services for clients throughout the global electronics industry. nepes also offers packaging design services including wafer level packaging, fan-out wafer level packages, and panel level packaging.
Building on this foundation, nepes is now driving additional packaging innovation with a broad range of advanced technologies from Siemens EDA, including the Calibre® nmPlatform, which includes Calibre® 3DSTACK software, HyperLynx™ software for electrical rule checking, as well as Siemens’ industry-leading Xpedition™ Substrate Integrator software and Xpedition™ Package Designer software. Together, these Siemens technologies helped nepes provide fast and reliable design services including 2.5D/3D-based chiplet designs for the company’s growing base of global IC customers.
“Siemens is committed to delivering industry-leading semiconductor packaging technologies to supply chain partners such as nepes, which helps enable them to achieve their digitalization goals,” said AJ Incorvaia, senior vice president of Electronic Board Systems at Siemens Digital Industries Software. “As an existing partner and supplier to nepes we are pleased to extend this relationship for the advantage of our mutual customers.”

iNEMI Packaging Tech Topic Series: Role of EDA in Advanced Semiconductor Packaging
04/26/2024 | iNEMIAdvanced semiconductor packaging with heterogenous integration has made on-package integration of multiple chips a crucial part of finding alternatives to transistor scaling. Historically, EDA tools for front-end and back-end design have evolved separately; however, design complexity and the increased number of die-to-die or die-to-substrate interconnections has led to the need for EDA tools that can support integration of overall design planning, implementation, and system analysis in a single cockpit.
