Overview 

Metis is the industry's first simulation platform for advanced packaging design. Metis can be applied to electromagnetic field analysis of chips, flip-chip BGA (FCBGA) , wafer level package , multi-chiplet, 2.5D/3D advanced packaging, and co-simulation of Chip+Package . The 3D full-wave electromagnetic simulation engine can meet the efficiency and accuracy requirements for signal and power modeling in heterogeneous integration designs, and can support cross-scale simulations from nanometer to centimeter levels.

Electromagnetic modeling for advanced packaging requires accuracy, efficiency, and ease of use. Metis based on the Method of Moments EM field analyisi, which can accurately characterize the skin effect and proximity effect of conductors. Intelligent hybrid mesh and automatic tunneling mesh technology not only meet the accuracy requirements, but also control the mesh scale, which makes it possible large-scale EM modeling. Compared with the traditional method, Metis has great advantages in computing speed and memory consumption for various packaging structures.
