Security The U.S. government agencies put out a warning that Russian military has been using a Kubernetes cluster to attempt distributed and anonymized brute force access against hundreds of government and private sector targets worldwide. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the National S... » read more

Graphene and two-dimensional materials for silicon technology
By Technical Paper Link - 02 Oct, 2020 - Comments: 1

Abstract: "The development of silicon semiconductor technology has produced breakthroughs in electronics—from the microprocessor in the late 1960s to early 1970s, to automation, computers and smartphones—by downscaling the physical size of devices and wires to the nanometre regime. Now, graphene and related two-dimensional (2D) materials offer prospects of unprecedented advances in device ... » read more

What Comes Next
By Imec - 19 Nov, 2015 - Comments: 0

By Marc Heyns I’m very optimistic about the continuation of Moore’s Law. But in saying that, I’m speaking about Moore’s Law purely as an economic law. I believe we’ll be able to offer increasing amounts of functionality at lower and lower costs. And technological innovations as well as advances in design and application will be crucial in realizing this. But I don’t believe a ... » read more

Imitation game movie review, fair or foul ?
By Michael Watts - 04 Jan, 2015 - Comments: 0

It’s a bit of a stretch, but seeing as Alan Turing is the original thinker behind this whole industry, I am going to take the liberty of a review of the new movie “Imitation Game”. Prior to raising the curtain on the story of the breaking of the Enigma code during the second world war, Turing was unknown outside the computer science community. He was the original thinker behind the comput... » read more

Defects And Contamination Control
By Michael Watts - 24 Apr, 2014 - Comments: 0

This week’s episode of the new Cosmos was particularly interesting because Neil Degrasse Tyson filled in a part of the recent history of semiconductors and made a great point about ethics in science. I had just moved to the United States when Carl Sagan’s Cosmos first aired, and at the time I thought he connected all sorts of interesting dots. The new edition is even better. In this ... » read more

Are Consortia Fair Competition?
By Michael Watts - 11 Feb, 2014 - Comments: 2

This year’s Super Bowl was rather disappointing, but the NFL has been remarkably successful in creating an environment where all the teams have a path to success. This provides an interesting counter point to the discussion last time on the role of consortia such as IMEC. My point last time was that big problems require big solutions and cooperation between companies and even governments are... » read more

DFM Success At SMIC
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 28 May, 2013 - Comments: 0

Jeff Wilson As any integrated circuit (IC) designer knows, design rules are the “first line of defense” foundries provide in the effort to ensure all IC designs are ultimately manufacturable. Coming in a close second, design for manufacturing (DFM) rules enable designers to maximize design capabilities and performance while minimizing or optimizing the use of chip space. At today’s ad... » read more

Programming The Future
By Joanne Itow - 21 Mar, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Joanne Itow After Achronix and Altera made significant announcements involving FPGA products and Intel’s advanced manufacturing technology, I decided to take a closer look at some of the market numbers involved. Just to recap, in February, Achronix announced the company began shipping the first FPGA device manufactured on Intel’s 22nm, Tri-Gate process technology. One week later, Altera... » read more
