In addition, Ansoft products are used to design controlled impedance transmission lines, both single-ended and coupled, that exist within the packages.
Electrical models produced by Ansoft's software products are delivered to ASE's customers so that precise circuit performance can be determined prior to production.
Furthermore, optimisation of the package design can be performed in software to provide optimal system performance.
"We are very pleased to have a close partnership with ASE for IC package simulation and design", said Charles Lee, Country Manager/Director of Business Development for Ansoft Taiwan.
"This relationship drives us to continue to develop our electromagnetic technology in order to meet leading-edge packaging design requirements vital to ASE and their end customers".
