Highly Stacked Nanowire FETs To Enhance Drive Current And Transistor Density
By Technical Paper Link - 10 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

A technical paper titled “Fabrication and performance of highly stacked GeSi nanowire field effect transistors” was published by researchers at National Taiwan University. Abstract: "Horizontal gate-all-around field effect transistors (GAAFETs) are used to replace FinFETs due to their good electrostatics and short channel control. Highly stacked nanowire channels are widely believed to en... » read more

Applications Of Large Language Models For Industrial Chip Design (NVIDIA)
By Technical Paper Link - 10 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

A technical paper titled “ChipNeMo: Domain-Adapted LLMs for Chip Design” was published by researchers at NVIDIA. Abstract: "ChipNeMo aims to explore the applications of large language models (LLMs) for industrial chip design. Instead of directly deploying off-the-shelf commercial or open-source LLMs, we instead adopt the following domain adaptation techniques: custom tokenizers, domain-ad... » read more

Chip Industry Week In Review
By The SE Staff - 10 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

By Jesse Allen, Gregory Haley, and Liz Allan Bosch, Infineon, and NXP were cleared in Germany to each acquire 10% of the European Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (ESMC), established by TSMC, solidifying the supply chain against future shortages, particularly for automotive chips. “ESMC intends to build and operate another large semiconductor factory in Dresden, in which the three Europ... » read more

Flipping Processor Design On Its Head
By Ann Mutschler - 09 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 2

AI is changing processor design in fundamental ways, combining customized processing elements for specific AI workloads with more traditional processors for other tasks. But the tradeoffs are increasingly confusing, complex, and challenging to manage. For example, workloads can change faster than the time it takes to churn out customized designs. In addition, the AI-specific processes may ex... » read more

An Entangled Heterarchy
By Brian Bailey - 09 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 1

For decades, a form of structural hierarchy has been the principal means of handling complexity in chip design. It's not always perfect, and there is no ideal way in which to divide and conquer because that would need to focus on the analysis being performed. In fact, most systems can be viewed from a variety of different hierarchies, equally correct, and together forming a heterarchy. The e... » read more

Damage Detection For Reliable Microelectronics
By Jens Michael Warmuth - 09 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

Over the past few years, the reliability and safety of electronic systems have become increasingly more important. Ongoing digitalization has made these systems an integral part of many items of daily use. This means that failures are becoming more and more critical as they can cause considerable disruption – even when they occur in consumer electronics. Today, electronics are also indispensa... » read more

Neural Network Model Quantization On Mobile
By Roberto Lopez Mendez - 09 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

The general definition of quantization states that it is the process of mapping continuous infinite values to a smaller set of discrete finite values. In this blog, we will talk about quantization in the context of neural network (NN) models, as the process of reducing the precision of the weights, biases, and activations. Moving from floating-point representations to low-precision fixed intege... » read more

What follows are excerpts of that conversation. Part two of this conversation can be found here and part three is here. [L-R]: ... » read more

Reduce Data Center Over-Provisioning And Stranded Capacity For Sustainability
By Hassan Moezzi - 09 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

In the ever-evolving landscape of data centers, the issue of stranded capacity has become a significant concern for operators. Stranded capacity refers to the underutilization of resources. It is best referred to as the elephant in the data center due to the enormity of its impact. The losses are even more significant for the enterprise data center categories at above 40%. This outcome n... » read more
