Making Adaptive Test Work Better
By Ed Sperling - 10 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

One of the big challenges for IC test is making sense of mountains of data, a direct result of more features being packed onto a single die, or multiple chiplets being assembled into an advanced package. Collecting all that data through various agents and building models on the tester no longer makes sense for a couple reasons — there is too much data, and there are multiple customers using t... » read more

Margin Sensors In The Wild
By Barry Pangrle - 10 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

Back in March, I wrote up an article here that looked at how a proxy circuit could be used to measure variations in circuit performance as conditions changed in the operating environment. There were a couple of recent presentations on margin sensors at two of the big EDA vendors' customer engineering forums that we’ll look at as well as another product with an upcoming presentation at DAC. Ma... » read more

Chip Industry Week In Review
By The SE Staff - 07 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

Rapidus and IBM are jointly developing mass production capabilities for chiplet-based advanced packages. The collaboration builds on an existing agreement to develop 2nm process technology. Vanguard and NXP will jointly establish VisionPower Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (VSMC) in Singapore to build a $7.8 billion, 12-inch wafer plant. This is part of a global supply chain shift “Out... » read more

Addressing Quantum Computing Threats With SRAM PUFs
By Roel Maes - 06 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

You’ve probably been hearing a lot lately about the quantum-computing threat to cryptography. If so, you probably also have a lot of questions about what this “quantum threat” is and how it will impact your cryptographic solutions. Let’s take a look at some of the most common questions about quantum computing and its impact on cryptography. What is a quantum computer? A quantum comput... » read more

The Importance Of Memory Encryption For Protecting Data In Use
By Emma-Jane Crozier - 06 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

As systems-on-chips (SoCs) become increasingly complex, security functions must grow accordingly to protect the semiconductor devices themselves and the sensitive information residing on or passing through them. While a Root of Trust security solution built into the SoCs can protect the chip and data resident therein (data at rest), many other threats exist which target interception, theft or t... » read more
