Mythic Case Study


Mythic, the provider of a unique AI compute platform, was designing an innovative intelligence processing unit (IPU) and found themselves in need of a small, power-efficient, yet programmable core to take care of specific supporting functions. As no off-the-shelf core would exactly match the needs and customization proved challenging, Mythic eventually opted for a complete solution by Codasip. ... » read more

Novel Etch Technologies Utilizing Atomic Layer Process For Advanced Patterning


We demonstrated a high selective and anisotropic plasma etch of Si3N4 and SiC. The demonstrated process consists of a sequence of ion modification and chemical dry removal steps. The Si3N4 etch with H ion modification showed a high selectivity to SiO2 and SiC films. In addition, we have developed selective etch of SiC with N ion modification. On the other hand, in the patterning etch processes,... » read more

Process Variation Analysis of Device Performance Using Virtual Fabrication


A new methodology is demonstrated to assess the impact of fabrication inherent process variability on 14-nm fin field effect transistor (FinFET) device performance. A model of a FinFET device was built using virtual device fabrication and testing. The model was subsequently calibrated on Design of Experiment corner case data that had been collected on a limited number of processed fab wafers. W... » read more
