China-innovated EDA technology pioneer | PFTN semiconductor

On July 30, the eighth “Huawei Cup” National Finals of the China Graduate Innovation Competition successfully concluded at the Suzhou campus of Nanjing University. Graduate teams from numerous universities nationwide gathered to showcase their exceptional innovation potential and research capabilities at this chip event, which integrated deep thinking, advanced technology, and practical applications.

In the semiconductor industry, predictions regarding the “end of Moore’s Law” emerge every few years.The inability to reduce the gate length of MOSFETs below 10 nm has recently been regarded as an “accepted” limit.However, semiconductor professionals are eager to challenge these limits and consistently achieve breakthroughs through innovation, thereby extending and surpassing Moore’s Law. In this competition, the corporate challenges established by Peifeng Tunan align with academic frontiers, requiring participants to investigate the device physics and simulation modeling techniques of transistors with a gate length of 6 nm. We hope that the young participants will challenge traditional thinking and explore new theories, inventions, and ideas. A total of 25 projects addressed the challenges posed by Peifeng Tunan. Following intense competition, two first prizes and two second prizes were awarded, showcasing the exceptional capabilities and innovative potential of the new generation of chip talent.

Peifeng Tunan has maintained a focus on positive research and development for 18 years, cultivating nearly a hundred outstanding EDA engineers internally, and has consistently committed to promoting the independent development of China’s integrated circuit design tools. As a long-term supporter of the “Innovation Competition,” the company has sponsored the event for seven consecutive years and has actively participated in the corporate challenge segment.In this edition of the competition, Peifeng Tunan established the “Corporate Challenge Special Award” to reward teams that select the company’s challenge direction.For participants who excel in the competition, the company will welcome them into its internship program, collaborating for the future of China’s “chip” industry.
