Patent number: 12242781Abstract: Machine assisted systems and methods for enhancing the resolution of an IC thermal profile from a system analysis are described. These systems and methods can use a neural network based predictor, that has been trained to determine a temperature rise across an entire IC. The training of the predictor can include generating a representation of two or more templates identifying different portions of an integrated circuit (IC), each template associated with location parameters to position the template in the IC; performing thermal simulations for each respective template of the IC, each thermal simulation determining an output based on a power pattern of tiles of the respective template, the output indicating a change in temperature of a center tile of the respective template relative to a base temperature of the integrated circuit; and training a neural network.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2023Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: ANSYS, INC.Inventors: Norman Chang, Hsiming Pan, Jimin Wen, Deqi Zhu, Wenbo Xia, Akhilesh Kumar, Wen-Tze Chuang, En-Cih Yang, Karthik Srinivasan, Ying-Shiun Li

Patent number: 11995187Abstract: Methods, machine readable media and systems for a method to determine if a model of an integrated circuit (IC) includes a Trojan component are described. In one embodiment, a method can include the following operations: splitting the model of the IC into a plurality of tiles; simulating the IC with an elevated temperature of each tile to predetermined level; computing a temperature-dependent leakage power for each tile; and identifying a tile of the IC as including a Trojan component based on the temperature-dependent leakage power computed.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2020Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: ANSYS, INC.Inventors: Dinesh Kumar Selvakumaran, Deqi Zhu, Lang Lin, Norman Chang, Hsiming Pan

Patent number: 11914931Abstract: Machine assisted systems and methods for enhancing the resolution of an IC thermal profile from a system analysis are described. The methods can include generating a representation of two or more templates identifying different portions of an integrated circuit (IC); performing a thermal simulation for each respective template of the IC based on a sequence of power patterns of tiles of the respective template; and training a neural network with a plurality of training data collected via thermal simulations performed for the templates of the IC. These systems and methods can use a machine learning predictor, that has been trained to determine a transient temperature rise across an entire IC, and then append the determined transient temperature rise to a system level thermal profile of the IC.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2019Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: ANSYS, INC.Inventors: Akhilesh Kumar, Norman Chang, Hsiming Pan, Jimin Wen, Deqi Zhu, Wenbo Xia, Wen-Tze Chuang, En-Cih Yang, Karthik Srinivasan, Ying-Shiun Li

Patent number: 10970437Abstract: Data is received that characterizes a chip in the package system (CPS) having a plurality of wires and vias. Thereafter, using the received data, a chip power calculation is performed. The chip power calculated is used to generate a thermal-aware power map. Further, package and system level thermal analysis is performed using the power map to generate a tile-based CPS thermal profile. A plurality of chip finite element sub-models are then generated that each correspond to a different tile. A thermal field solution is solved for each sub-model so that, for each wire, wire temperature rises are extracted from the corresponding the chip sub-model analysis and combined with temperature values from the CPS thermal profile. This extracting and combining is then used to generate a back-annotation file covering each metal wire and via in the CPS.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2020Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: ANSYS, IncInventors: Hsiming Pan, Zhigang Feng, Norman Chang
