ams OSRAM, a global developer of optical sensing and semiconductor technologies, is advancing intelligent sensing applications across automotive safety, medical imaging, and consumer electronics. As sensing systems become smaller and more integrated, the company is addressing growing design complexity involving electrical interactions, substrate noise, and multiphysics behavior within heterogeneous architectures.
To support these requirements, ams OSRAM uses Cadence Design Systems technologies including Virtuoso Studio, Quantus Extraction Solution, and the Spectre Simulation Platform. The tools are used for layout extraction, multiphysics analysis, and system-level simulation of applications such as color sensing, infrared detection, autonomous systems, and medical photodetectors. The Quantus SNA and SND workflows are particularly vital, as they aim to help engineers visualize and mitigate RF substrate noise effects by connecting them directly to SPICE netlists. The collaboration highlights the increasing role of simulation-driven workflows in the development of next-generation optical and semiconductor sensing platforms.
