Heterogeneous Assembly


Medical and biotech devices often include optical, chemical, RF, and liquid elements. Some are combined with electronic devices to increase functionality or interaction with the environment. To produce these devices, multiple technologies are combined in a cost-effective way, ideally using a rapid process development cycle to minimize time to market. Combining technologies, as well as combining... » read more

Metrology Of Thin Resist For High NA EUVL


One of the many constrains of high numerical aperture extreme ultraviolet lithography (High NA EUVL) is related to resist thickness. In fact, one of the consequences of moving from current 0.33NA to 0.55NA (high NA) is the depth of focus (DOF) reduction. In addition, as the resist feature lines shrink down to 8nm half pitch, it is essential to limit the aspect ratio to avoid pattern collapse. T... » read more

Complete Reliability Verification For Multiple-Power-Domain Designs


With increasing design complexity and a heightened focus on reliability at all levels of integrated circuit (IC) design from intellectual property (IP) to full-chip, accurate and full verification coverage of the different reliability concerns within an IC design is essential. Designs containing multiple power domains add more complexity to reliability verification with the need to validate int... » read more

Unleash The Potential of CFD


Classic CFD to High-Order Scalability Instead of relying on expensive prototype testing or experimentation, users now have access to numerous open-source and paid computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software that can help them solve application-specific problems. Today, CFD is no longer about getting one solution at a time; it is about getting the best possible solution from multiple design tes... » read more

How Low Can You Go? Pushing The Limits Of Transistors


Rising demand for cutting-edge mobile, IoT, and wearable devices, along with high compute demands for AI and 5G/6G communications, has driven the need for lower power systems-on-chip (SoCs). This is not only a concern for a device’s power consumption when active (dynamic power), but also when the device is not active (leakage power). This highly competitive industry provides significant rewar... » read more

Modeling Silicon Photonics Process Parameter Variations In Synopsys OptoCompiler-OptSim


Silicon photonics (SiPh) refers to the enablement of photonic integrated circuits (PIC) over silicon wafer. SiPh enables compatibility with existing CMOS manufacturing infrastructure for large-scale integration and brings the associated benefits to the photonics, namely, lower footprint, lower thermal effects, and co-packaging of electronics and photonics on the same chip. One of the side-effec... » read more
