(H1) Ensure IC Reliability with Siemens mPower EMIR 2025.4

Siemens mPower EMIR 2025.4 is a high-capacity, signoff-accurate software solution dedicated to analyzing and verifying power integrity and long-term reliability in integrated circuits. It performs two critical analyses: DC and AC IR drop to ensure stable voltage delivery to all transistors, and Electromigration (EM) to predict and prevent metal wear-out over the chip's operational lifetime. As power densities increase and metal lines shrink at advanced nodes, these analyses are mandatory for first-pass silicon success. mPower EMIR provides the comprehensive, foundry-certified checking required to sign off on custom/analog blocks, digital standard cells, and full SoCs, preventing functional failures and ensuring a 10+ year operational lifespan.

(H2) Core Functional Capabilities of mPower EMIR 2025.4

• High-Accuracy DC & AC IR Drop Analysis
  Identify voltage drop (IR) hotspots across the entire power delivery network (PDN). The software performs detailed static (DC) analysis for steady-state conditions and dynamic (AC) analysis to account for transient current demands, ensuring that cells receive sufficient voltage under all operating modes to meet timing and functionality requirements.

• Comprehensive Electromigration Rule Checking
  Verify that metal interconnects and vias can carry their required current without degrading. The tool applies foundry-specific EM rules to calculate current density for every wire segment, checking for both DC (average current) and AC (RMS current) electromigration effects that could lead to open or short circuits over time.

• Advanced Node & 3D-IC Ready Architecture
  Tackle the complexities of the latest technologies. The solution is engineered for FinFET and angstrom-scale nodes, accounting for complex design rules, multi-patterning, and advanced reliability models. It also supports heterogeneous 2.5D/3D-IC designs, analyzing power delivery and EM across chiplets and interposers.

• Tight Integration with Custom & Digital Flows
  Fit seamlessly into existing design environments. mPower EMIR works directly with layout data from Siemens' Custom IC design suite and can interface with digital implementation flows. It enables "in-design" analysis for early feedback and final signoff verification, all within a unified database.

(H2) The mPower EMIR Advantage in Reliability Signoff

Power integrity and electromigration are no longer secondary concerns; they are first-order constraints that can cause catastrophic chip failure. Siemens mPower EMIR 2025.4 addresses these challenges with an analysis engine built for signoff confidence. Its ability to handle the enormous scale of modern SoCs with the precision needed for analog-sensitive circuits makes it a unique and essential tool. For design teams that cannot afford the risk of field returns or latent reliability issues, mPower EMIR provides the exhaustive verification needed to ship robust, high-performance silicon.
