How Big A Deal Is Aging?
By Brian Bailey - 17 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

Nothing lasts forever, but in the semiconductor world things used to last long enough to become obsolete long before their end of life. That's no longer the case with newer nodes, and it is raising concerns in safety-critical markets such as automotive. Being able to fully understand what happens inside of chips is still a work in progress, and analysis approaches are trying to keep up. Unti... » read more

Is Liquid Cooling Right For Your Data Center?
By Mark Seymour - 17 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

We live in an exciting time—liquid cooling, which once seemed more trouble than it’s worth, is fast becoming an accepted and sought-after technology in the data center industry. That said, it’s still a complex technology to implement, especially in legacy facilities. Is your data center ready to operationalize liquid cooling? Liquid cooling in the data center Liquid cooling in the d... » read more

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss what's changing in analog design with the shift toward heterogeneous integration and more safety- and mission-critical applications with Mo Faisal, president and CEO of Movellus; Hany Elhak, executive director of product management at Synopsys; Cedric Pujol, product manager at Keysight; and Pradeep Thiagarajan, principal product manager for custom I... » read more

Cloud Or On-premises? Why Not Both: A Hybrid Approach For Structure Simulation
By Thomas Lejeune - 17 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

Faced with large problem sizes and urgent deadlines, it’s not surprising that more and more product development teams are accessing high-performance computing (HPC) resources on the cloud. After all, a cloud computing model enables you to access the most advanced, leading-edge software and hardware on demand. There are no queues or wait times. Users can “dial up” core counts and other set... » read more

Mass Customization For AI Inference
By Ann Mutschler - 17 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

Rising complexity in AI models and an explosion in the number and variety of networks is leaving chipmakers torn between fixed-function acceleration and more programmable accelerators, and creating some novel approaches that include some of both. By all accounts, a general-purpose approach to AI processing is not meeting the grade. General-purpose processors are exactly that. They're not des... » read more

A new technical paper titled "MFIT: Multi-Fidelity Thermal Modeling for 2.5D and 3D Multi-Chiplet Architectures" was published by researchers at University of Wisconsin–Madison, Washington State University, and University of Ulsan. Abstract: "Rapidly evolving artificial intelligence and machine learning applications require ever-increasing computational capabilities, while monolithic 2D d... » read more

Big Changes In Optical Inspection
By Ed Sperling - 16 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

Optical inspection always has been the workhorse technology for finding defects in chips. It's fast, cost-efficient, and generally reliable enough for most chips. But as logic scales into the angstrom range, and as systems become collections of chiplets, optical inspection needs to be combined with other types of inspection such as X-ray and acoustic. Kyle Vander Schaaf, application engineer at... » read more

Startup Funding: Q3 2024
By Jesse Allen - 16 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

Numerous new companies burst on the scene in the third quarter of 2024, including startups with plans for customizable RISC-V-based IP for applications from microcontrollers to data centers, high-speed data center interconnects, compute-in-memory LLM inference chips, and surveillance camera SoCs. Although it did not report funding, AheadComputing also launched last quarter to develop RISC-V cor... » read more

Shift Left The Design Process With Calibre Interactive Symmetry Checking
By Siemens EDA - 16 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

The traditional methods of symmetry checking are due for an update. The Calibre interactive, no code symmetry checking solution helps designers capture symmetry issues very early in the design cycle to reduce the number of iterations. Calibre interactive symmetry checking shifts left the whole verification process and reduces the time needed to reach tape out. What you’ll learn: Why the... » read more
