Reversible Chain Diagnosis
By Siemens EDA - 09 Nov, 2021 - Comments: 0

For advanced technologies, the industry is seeing very complicated silicon defect types and defect distribution. One consequence is that scan chain diagnosis becomes more difficult. To improve the resolution of scan chain diagnosis, Tessent Diagnosis can use new scan chain test patterns to leverage a reversible scan chain architecture. This paper describes the novel scan chain architecture t... » read more

Industrial Radiography — CT Scanning for Metrology Applications
By CyberOptics - 09 Nov, 2021 - Comments: 0

Xray technology, more specifically computed tomography (CT), has been adapted for use as an instrument of industrial metrology. Early adopters have quickly recognized the benefits of internal and external nondestructive testing for 3D defect detection and geometric analysis, while those considering adoption may be uncertain how to implement the technology effectively. This study was conducted t... » read more

Imaging Of Overlay And Alignment Markers Under Opaque Layers Using Picosecond Laser Acoustic Measurements
By Onto Innovation - 09 Nov, 2021 - Comments: 0

Optically opaque materials present a series of challenges for alignment and overlay in the semi-damascene process flow or after the processing of the magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) of a Magnetic Random-Access Memory (MRAM). The overlay and alignment of a lithographically defined pattern on top of the pattern and the underlying layer is fundamental to device operation in all multi-layer patterne... » read more

How To Reduce The Impact Of The Global Microcontroller Shortage On ECU Software Development

In-car networks and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), made possible through wireless sensors, driver-assist radar, vehicle communications, and related electronics, present many design challenges to engineers. Simulation software enables design teams to effectively manage the complex design and integration challenges associated with developing these high-speed and RF-enabled networks. T... » read more

ML-based Routing Congestion And Delay Estimation In Vivado ML Edition
By Xilinx - 03 Nov, 2021 - Comments: 0

The FPGA physical design flow offers a compelling opportunity for Machine Learning for CAD (MLCAD) for the following reasons: • An ML solution can be applied wholesale to a device family. • There is a vast data farm that can be harvested from device models and design data from broad applications. • There is a single streamlined design flow that an be instrumented, annotated, and quer... » read more

How Semiconductor Solutions Address Safety Requirements Of Future Power Distribution Networks In Autonomous Vehicles
By Infineon - 03 Nov, 2021 - Comments: 0

Open up the bonnet of any modern automobile and many of us would be hard-pressed to find anything that we could fix ourselves. With pipes and cables almost artistically integrated into the engine bay, and sleek plastic covers fitted everywhere, there is very little that can still be recognized, yet alone repaired. Perhaps the only location where we feel comfortable is the “fuse box”, or pow... » read more

Microchip Sees Significant Productivity Gains In Mature-Node Custom IC Design With In-Design Signoff DRC
By Siemens EDA - 27 Oct, 2021 - Comments: 0

Microsemi pioneered the design of innovative chips that are used for multiple purposes across a variety of industries, using both mature and advanced process nodes. In mature node custom design implementation, layout designers still spend a significant amount of their valuable time fixing DRC errors—time that could be more beneficially spent ensuring their designs meet their PPA goals. By rep... » read more

Co-Packaged Optics And The Evolution Of Switch/Optical Interconnects In Data Centers
By Synopsys - 27 Oct, 2021 - Comments: 0

Driven by a need to reduce power and increase bandwidth density in data center network switches and other devices, the data networking industry is moving toward adoption of co-packaged optics (CPO). This paper provides a brief overview of the history of copper and optical interconnects, the limitations of existing interconnect solutions, and the future of co-packaged optics, including the benef... » read more
