Virtual Exploration Of Novel Vertical DRAM Architectures
By Taeyon (TY) Oh - 20 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

In this article, we demonstrate a pathfinding technique for a novel Vertical DRAM technology. First, we identify important process parameters (defined by current semiconductor production equipment capabilities) that strongly impact yield. By using a virtual model, we then perform experimental optimization of the Vertical DRAM device across specific target ranges, to help predict and improve the... » read more

Applying Machine Learning To Accelerate TCAD Calibration
By Dwight Hunter - 20 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

TCAD models are the fundamental building blocks for the semiconductor industry. Whether it is a new process node or a new multi-billion dollar fab, accurate TCAD models must be developed and calibrated before they can be deployed in technology development. While TCAD models have been around for (many) decades, their complexity is growing exponentially, as is the demands placed on the R&D en... » read more

AI: Great, But Somehow Still Not Very Good
By Charlie Parker - 20 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

In an invited presentation at CS Mantech 2024, Charlie Parker, senior machine learning engineer at Tignis, provides context for the AI hype cycle with a high-level overview of machine learning concepts, then explores how the technology fits into the fab, from inventory management to institutional knowledge capture, but warns that it is worth being aware of the ways in which machine learning mod... » read more

Package Assembly Design Kits: The Future Of Advanced Package Design
By Ruben Fuentes - 23 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

Why should there be an interest in Package Assembly Design Kits (PADK) today? For the most part, it is due to the advancement in the accumulation of files forming the PADK now offering a customized heterogeneous design experience that optimizes the device's intended package performance with complete connectivity verification, DRC, and assembly validation. Another primary reason is the ongoing f... » read more

Understanding CFETs, A Next Generation Transistor Architecture
By Sam Sarkar - 23 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

Computing power has experienced exponential growth over the last 70 years. This has largely been achieved through transistor scaling. Due to a continuous reduction in the size of transistors, engineers have been able to pack more and more of them onto a single chip [1]. This has led to faster, more powerful, and more energy-efficient devices. Improvements in fabrication processes and materials,... » read more
