Addressing Thermal Reliability In Next-Gen FinFET Designs
By Anusha Prakash - 18 Sep, 2017 - Comments: 0

The next generation of chips on the 10/7nm finFET processes will be able to cram more devices into same area while also boosting performance, but there's a price to pay for that. The 3D fin structures trap heat, so the the temperature rises on the device and there is no way to dissipate that heat. This combination of higher current density, higher performance and higher temperature has a det... » read more

DARPA CHIPS Program Pushes For Chiplets
By Ann Mutschler - 14 Sep, 2017 - Comments: 0

While the semiconductor industry plugs away at More Than Moore innovation, the U.S. government is guiding its own SoC development. A new program kicked off last year called ‘Common Heterogeneous Integration and IP Reuse Strategies’ or CHIPS to take its own approach the incredibly high cost of SoC design and manufacturing. DARPA said it recognizes that the explosive growth in mobile and t... » read more

Noise Issues At 10nm And Below
By Magdy Abadir - 14 Sep, 2017 - Comments: 0

Most of the conversations below 10nm have been about lithography, materials and design constraints. But as companies push to 7nm and beyond, they are faced with a host of new challenges, including how to deal with electromagnetic crosstalk. Electromagnetic crosstalk is unwanted interference caused by the electric and magnetic fields of one or more signals (aggressors) affecting another sign... » read more

CCIX – What And Why?
By Richard Solomon - 14 Sep, 2017 - Comments: 0

There are two significant issues with today’s I/O interconnects: high speed storage and networking applications need more bandwidth than currently available technologies provide, and co-processing/acceleration functions need cache coherency for faster access to memory in heterogeneous multi-processor systems. These requirements are driving the development of a new specification called Cache C... » read more

How Virtual Emulation Gives The Storage Market A Leg Up
By Ben Whitehead - 14 Sep, 2017 - Comments: 0

By Ben Whitehead and Paul Morrison The storage market demands that huge amounts of data and information be stored securely and be accessible anywhere and anytime, driving the adoption of key technologies and use models. According to GSMAintelligence.com, newly created digital data is doubling every two years. This means increasing amounts of storage must be available at the same pace. A... » read more

NVDIMM Market Buoyed By Evolving Data Center Demands
By Aharon Etengoff - 14 Sep, 2017 - Comments: 0

The NVDIMM market A recent report published by Transparency Market Research (TMR) confirms that the global Non-Volatile Dual In-line Memory Module (NVDIMM) market is being propelled by an increased demand for advanced data center infrastructure. Indeed, NVDIMMs offer fault-tolerant data integrity, while simultaneously optimizing the performance of storage and cache, as well as indexing, messag... » read more

Expanding Ecosystem Drives Automotive Semiconductor Gold Rush
By Thomas Wong - 14 Sep, 2017 - Comments: 0

Semiconductor chips designed to support automotive applications have been around for more than 40 years, a very long time in the technology business. These chips have been developed by semiconductor integrated device manufacturers (IDMs), who control every step of the design, manufacturing, test, qualification, reliability and quality aspects of these automotive chips. On top of that, special s... » read more

Computer Vision Powers Startups, Bleeding Edge Processes
By Ann Mutschler - 10 Aug, 2017 - Comments: 0

You can’t turn around these days without walking into a convolutional neural network…..oh wait, maybe not yet, but sometime in the not-too-distant future, we’ll be riding in vehicles controlled by them. While not a new concept, CNNs are finally making the big time, as evidenced by a significant upswell in startup activity, tracked by Chris Rowen, CEO of Cognite Ventures. According to h... » read more

I Say ‘High’ [Performance], You Say ‘Low’ [Power]
By Vinay Patwardhan - 10 Aug, 2017 - Comments: 0

“…You say ‘why’, and I say ‘I don’t know…’” Actually, I do know. Everybody loves a high-performance product. Even just hearing that a product is high-performance sets higher expectations than if the product is simply described as “fast” or “powerful.” When it comes to SoC design, “high-performance” refers to a set of designs that run at very high clock freque... » read more

Enabling Higher System Performance With NVDIMM-N
By Sarvagya Kochak - 10 Aug, 2017 - Comments: 0

The shift from the traditional enterprise data center to the cloud is driving an insatiable demand for increased bandwidth and lower latencies. This is fundamentally reshaping traditional memory, storage, network and computing architectures. Although the semiconductor industry has been innovating to meet the needs of these new architectures, it continues to grapple with a waning Moore’s Law t... » read more
