(PR) Rapidus Unveils New AI Design Tools for Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing

Rapidus Corporation today announced a new suite of AI design tools to support its Rapidus AI-Assisted Design Solution (Raads), a key initiative to helping to realize its Rapid and Unified Manufacturing Service (RUMS) concept. The technology approach will also be rebranded to Rapidus AI-Agentic Design Solution with multiple tools being released starting in 2026 and will be provided to customers together with a process design kit and reference flows. The new tools include:
  • Raads Generator: An EDA tool based on large-scale language models (LLMs). When designers input semiconductor specifications, Raads Generator outputs register-transfer level (RTL) design data optimized for Rapidus' 2 nm manufacturing process.
  • Raads Predictor: A tool for RTL debugging and optimization for physical design, placement and routing. Raads Predictor will provide a power performance area (PPA) estimate in a short period of time.
Designers can use Raads Generator to write design ideas and desired specifications as RTL source code and then input data into Raads Predictor along with Synopsys Design Constraints (SDC), allowing them to predict the PPA of the silicon manufactured by Rapidus.
