Enabling The 5G RF Front-End Module Evolution With The DSMBGA Package


The advanced SiP double-sided molded BGA platform has become an industry technology standard in this domain. Applying leading-edge design rules for 3D component placement and double-sided molding, together with conformal and compartmental shielding and in-line RF testing, delivers integration levels in a small form factor with high yield. In addition to formidable SiP capacity and DSMBGA techno... » read more

Suppressing Stochastic Interaction To Improve EUV Lithography


Authors Zhimin Zhu Sr., Joyce Lowes, Shawn Ye, Zhiqiang Fan, and Tim Limmer of Brewer Science, Inc. (United States) used Stochastic Area Thickness (SAT) and Dynamic Stochastic Area Thickness (DSAT) to evaluate the stochastic interactions. High optical foot exposure is proposed instead of conventional low substrate reflectivity to reduce SAT. Adhesion control by acid/quencher loading is proposed... » read more

Machine Learning Application For Early Power Analysis Accuracy Improvement


In this paper, we introduce a machine learning (ML) application that accurately estimates the switching power of the cells without needing the SPEF file (SPEF less PA flow). Three ML models (multi-linear regression, random forest and decision tree) were trained and tested on different industrial designs at 7nm technology. They are trained using different cells’ properties available, SPEF, and... » read more

Thermally Optimizing A High-Power PCB


The growth of battery-powered applications is presenting new challenges for designers of electronic motor-driven solutions. Targeting higher performance and efficiency, the power stages of these products must manage high currents while meeting strict power dissipation and size requirements. This white paper illustrates a thermally aware workflow with the Cadence® Celsius™ Thermal Solver... » read more

Post Quantum Cryptography Is Coming


Quantum computing has made big advances in recent years and experts agree that quantum computers capable of breaking 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC will be built — it’s just a matter of time. In this white paper, we discuss the security algorithms NIST has selected for Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and their instantiation in Rambus security products. Download this white paper to learn: ... » read more

Verify Perception Systems Virtually Via Accurate Fog Models


Under every lighting level and weather condition, cameras must reliably “see” pedestrians and other physical objects ― and trigger an appropriate reaction from critical systems such as braking. This is especially challenging in foggy conditions, which can confuse visual cameras, radar, lidar and other conventional sensor technologies. Thermal imaging represents a potential solution, helpi... » read more

MIPI In Next Generation Of AI IoT Devices At The Edge


The history of data processing begins in the 1960’s with centralized on-site mainframes that later evolved into distributed client servers. In the beginning of this century, centralized cloud computing became attractive and began to gain momentum becoming one of the most popular computing tools today. In recent years however, we have seen an increase in the demand for processing... » read more
