Secafy is using Siemens’ full IC design flow, including Aprisa for physical-aware synthesis and place-and-route.
Siemens Digital Industries Software announced that Secafy, a hardware security company in Japan, has adopted Siemens’ full IC design flow consisting of its comprehensive portfolio of electronic design automation (EDA) tools, including Aprisa software for digital IC physical-aware synthesis and place-and-route implementations, to develop next-generation hardware security large-scale integration (LSI) devices.

Established in 2023 based on the research achievements in technology and entrepreneurship by graduate students from Kobe University, Secafy is a startup company focused on the commercialization of hardware security technologies, combining semiconductor security with cryptographic technologies to specialize in hardware noise evaluation and hardware security analysis.
In addition to using Siemens’ Aprisa digital implementation solution, Secafy also uses a range of tools across Siemens EDA’s comprehensive integrated circuit (IC) design flow including Calibre software, Solido Simulation Suite software, Solido Design Environment software and Custom IC Design software, to design LSI devices to be built using 180nm to 16nm process nodes.
