The Value Of Field Solvers In Semiconductor Development Helps Drive Infineon Innovation
By Siemens EDA - 11 Oct, 2023 - Comments: 0

Parasitic extraction (PEX) helps ensure accurate circuit performance in the design and verification flow. Development of accurate PEX runsets depends on accurate and precise extraction results obtained using a full-featured field solver. Infineon selected the Calibre xACT 3D tool as their reference field solver tool of choice in the development of their next-generation semiconductor power produ... » read more

How Multi-Die Systems Are Transforming Electronic Design
By Synopsys - 11 Oct, 2023 - Comments: 0

How can the electronics industry continue as Moore’s law slows, system complexity increases, and the number of transistors balloons to trillions? Multi-die systems have emerged as the solution to go beyond Moore’s law and address the challenges of systemic complexity, allowing for accelerated, cost-effective scaling of system functionality, reduced risk and time to market, lower system p... » read more

Maximizing Design Flexibility For Multi-Layered And Diffractive Optical Components
By Ansys - 11 Oct, 2023 - Comments: 0

A broad range of optical devices use nanostructured layers and surfaces to manipulate beams of light through diffraction and interference. Example devices include diffraction gratings, metasurfaces, diffractive optical elements, and metalenses. While the purpose and function of these devices can differ, they offer similar challenges from the point of view of simulation. In this white paper, ... » read more

Issues In Calculating Glitch Power
By Ed Sperling - 11 Oct, 2023 - Comments: 0

The amount of power consumed by redundant non-functional toggles, or glitch power, can be as high as 35% of total power consumption in a design. What can be done about that? Godwin Maben, low-power architect and scientist at Synopsys, takes a deep dive into the causes of glitch, how it is affected by new process nodes and heterogeneous integration, and the impact of different workloads, higher ... » read more

Satellites Bolster 5G Through Non-Terrestrial Networks
By Keysight - 11 Oct, 2023 - Comments: 0

The 3GPP plans to make 5G into a network that incorporates satellites to augment terrestrial 5G networks. These NTNs will extend the reach of 5G to regions lacking terrestrial infrastructure. Click here to read more. » read more

Startup Funding: September 2023
By Jesse Allen - 09 Oct, 2023 - Comments: 0

Chip-to-chip and data center I/O drew investor interest in September, including support for several startups developing Compute Express Link (CXL) solutions. Elsewhere in the data center, several large rounds went to companies developing AI accelerators. And at the edge, startups are building unique ways to handle AI at very little power by initially processing data directly at the sensor. O... » read more

Growing indium selenide at scale Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and the Air Force Research Laboratory grew the 2D semiconductor indium selenide (InSe) on a full-size, industrial-scale wafer. It can also be deposited at temperatures low enough to integrate with a silicon chip. The team noted that producing large enough films of InSe has prove... » read more

Chip Industry Week In Review
By The SE Staff - 29 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

By Susan Rambo, Liz Allan, and Gregory Haley. TSMC rolled out the second version of its 3Dblox, which creates an infrastructure for stacking chiplets and other necessary components in a package, along with a standardized way of achieving that. Two novel features are chiplet mirroring for design reuse, and what is basically sandbox for power and thermal analysis of different design elements. ... » read more

Research Bits: September 26

2D waveguides Researchers from the University of Chicago found that a sheet of glass crystal just a few atoms thick could trap and carry light efficiently up to a centimeter. In tests, the researchers found they could use extremely tiny prisms, lenses, and switches to guide the path of the light along a chip. “We were utterly surprised by how powerful this super-thin crystal is; not on... » read more

ReRAM Seeks To Replace NOR
By Karen Heyman - 25 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

Resistive RAM is gaining renewed attention as demand for faster and cheaper non-volatile memory alternatives continues to grow, particularly in applications such as automotive. Embedded flash has long left designers wishing for better write speeds and lower energy consumption, but as the leading edge of that technology shrunk to 28nm, another problem arose. Manufacturing flash memory at thos... » read more
