The know-how strategy may also be rebranded to Rapidus AI-Agentic Design Answer with a number of instruments being launched beginning in 2026 and might be offered to clients along with a course of design package and reference flows. The brand new instruments embody:
- Raads Generator: An EDA instrument based mostly on large-scale language fashions (LLMs). When designers enter semiconductor specs, Raads Generator outputs register-transfer degree (RTL) design knowledge optimized for Rapidus’ 2nm manufacturing course of.
- Raads Predictor: A instrument for RTL debugging and optimization for bodily design, placement and routing. Raads Predictor will present an influence efficiency space (PPA) estimate in a brief time period.
Designers can use Raads Generator to write down design concepts and desired specs as RTL supply code after which enter knowledge into Raads Predictor together with Synopsys Design Constraints (SDC), permitting them to foretell the PPA of the silicon manufactured by Rapidus.
Raads not solely assists semiconductor designers with AI however may also turn out to be an AI agent for cutting-edge semiconductor machine design. By using Raads at the side of present EDA instruments, builders can cut back design time by 50% and design prices by 30%.
Following the launch of Raads Generator and Raads Predictor, Rapidus may also launch extra instruments all through 2026 together with:
- Raads Navigator / Raads Indicator: Makes use of LLMs to offer high quality assurance and help to designers to derive options to design points and issues.
- Raads Supervisor: A structure design instrument that makes use of ML/AI to create a hierarchical configuration that minimizes design time.
- Raads Optimizer: Applies ML/AI to seek for and derive parameters to optimize PPA.
Rapidus’ Progressive Integration for Manufacturing (IIM-1) foundry is introducing a single-wafer processing for all manufacturing processes.
In June 2025, Rapidus related 200 items of semiconductor manufacturing tools to allow a totally new automated materials dealing with system to help 2nm GAA prototyping.
In July, Rapidus introduced that prototyping had began at IIM-1 and the prototype wafers began to acquire their electrical traits.
