Ansys Charge Plus And Its Particle-In-Cell Solver
By Ansys - 09 Aug, 2023 - Comments: 0

SIMULATING SEMICONDUCTORS PARTICLE BY PARTICLE Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PE-CVD) and plasma etching are experimental techniques that leverage multiphysics for product development in the semiconductor industry. PE-CVD explicitly tackles the deposition of material on the surface of a wafer, such as a thin coating. A chemical with free radicals is placed on the surface of the ... » read more

Thinner, tougher heat flux sensors Researchers from the Department of Physics at the University of Tokyo have designed a heat flux sensor that can measure heat flux — the amount of heat that passes through a material — using a manufacturable, flexible thin film with circuits etched in a way that increases the anomalous Nernst effect (ANE). ANE turns heat into an electrical signal using ... » read more

Protons improve ferroelectric memory Researchers from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Qingdao University, and Zhejiang University developed a method to produce multiple phase transitions in ferroelectric materials, which could increase storage capacity for neuromorphic memory. The approach uses proton-mediation of the ferroelectric material indium selenide. The r... » read more

Evolution Of Equalization Techniques In High-Speed SerDes For Extended Reaches
By Madhumita Sanyal - 20 Jul, 2023 - Comments: 0

The relentless demand for massive amounts of data is accelerating the pace of high-performance computing (HPC) within the high-speed Ethernet realm. This escalation, in turn, intensified the complexity associated with designing networking SoCs, including switches, NICs, retimers, and pluggable modules. Such growth is accelerating the demand for bandwidth hungry applications to transition from 4... » read more

Improving Performance And Lowering Power In Automotive
By Ann Mutschler - 20 Jul, 2023 - Comments: 0

Automotive OEMs are boosting their investments across the semiconductor ecosystem as stepping stones toward electrification and autonomy, and they are starting to encounter some of the same issues chipmakers have been wrestling with at advanced nodes — massive compute performance, thermal and power issues, reliability over extended lifetimes, and a highly diverse and geographically distribute... » read more

Getting Rid Of Heat In Chips
By Brian Bailey - 20 Jul, 2023 - Comments: 1

Power consumed by semiconductors creates heat, which must be removed from the device, but how to do this efficiently is a growing challenge. Heat is the waste product of semiconductors. It is produced when power is dissipated in devices and along wires. Power is consumed when devices switch, meaning that it is dependent upon activity, and that power is constantly being wasted by imperfect de... » read more

Analog IP Reuse
By Benjamin Prautsch - 20 Jul, 2023 - Comments: 0

Analog integrated circuit IP is essential to how microelectronic circuits and systems interact with the environment. It enables things like signal conversion, stable power supply, and communication in state-of-the-art devices. However, designing these critical components – even though they are often a small part of complex chips – is very costly and risk-prone. And in today’s analog field... » read more

Generative AI Training With HBM3 Memory
By Frank Ferro - 20 Jul, 2023 - Comments: 0

One of the biggest, most talked about application drivers of hardware requirements today is the rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) and the generative AI which they make possible.  The most well-known example of generative AI right now is, of course, ChatGPT. ChatGPT’s large language model for GPT-3 utilizes 175 billion parameters. Fourth generation GPT-4 will reportedly boost the number of... » read more

A Bridge From Mars To Venus
By Steve Roddy - 20 Jul, 2023 - Comments: 0

In a now-famous 1992 pop psychology book titled "Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus," author John Gray posited that most relationship troubles in couples stem from fundamental differences in socialization patterns between men and women. The analogy that the two partners came from different planets was used to describe how two people could perceive issues in completely different and sometim... » read more
