Synopsys expanded its collaboration with Samsung Foundry at the Samsung Advanced Foundry Ecosystem (SAFE) Forum 2026.
The partnership introduces AI-powered design and test solutions for Samsung's 2nm and 4nm processes.
Synopsys TestMAX AI-assisted technology reduces test patterns and cycles by up to 20%.
The tool maintains fault coverage for complex system-on-chip (SoC) and multi-die designs.
The collaboration improves chip frequency by up to 2.7%.
This performance gain requires a 5% leakage trade-off.
The joint initiative addresses the rising complexity and cost of designing advanced AI and multi-die chips.
