Testing 2.5D And 3D-ICs
By Ed Sperling - 25 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

Disaggregating SoCs allows chipmakers to cram more features and functions into a package than can fit on a reticle-sized chip. But as Vidya Neerkundar, technical marketing engineer at Siemens EDA explains, there are challenges in accessing all of the dies or chiplets in a package. The new IEEE 1838 standard addresses that, as well as what to do when 2.5D and 3D-ICs are combined together in the ... » read more

Why Changes In Computing Are Driving Changes In Photomasks
By Ed Sperling - 18 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

Aki Fujimura, CEO of D2S, talks with Semiconductor Engineering about massive improvements in computation based upon increased density on chips, and why printing Manhattan shapes on a photomask are no longer sufficient to print high-performance devices with predictable reliability every time. He explains why a discontinuity in EDA physical design has opened the door for printing curvilinear shap... » read more

HBM3 In The Data Center
By Ed Sperling - 17 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

Frank Ferro, senior director of product management at Rambus, talks about the forthcoming HBM3 standard, why this is so essential for AI chips and where the bottlenecks are today, what kinds of challenges are involved in working with this memory, and what impact chiplets and near-memory compute will have on HBM and bandwidth.     » read more

Simplifying AI Edge Deployment
By Ed Sperling - 10 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

Barrie Mullins, vice president of product at Flex Logix, explains how a programmable accelerator chip can simplify semiconductor design at the edge, where chips need to be high performance as well as low power, yet developing everything from scratch is too expensive and time-consuming. Programmability allows these systems to stay current with changes in algorithms, which can affect everything f... » read more

Using eFPGAs For Security
By Ed Sperling - 21 Sep, 2022 - Comments: 0

Andy Jaros, vice president at Flex Logix, talks about the use of eFPGAs to keep pace with security risks over longer chip lifetimes, how configurable RTL can help, and why systems companies are altering the playing field for FPGAs. » read more

Quantum Computing

Sebastian Luber, senior director of technology and innovation at Infineon Technologies, talks about the growing interest in quantum computers, what’s still missing to make this technology more relevant, and how to improve the lifespan and accuracy of qubits. » read more

Boosting Data Management System Performance
By Ed Sperling - 07 Sep, 2022 - Comments: 0

Marios Karatzias, application engineer at ClioSoft, talks with Semiconductor Engineering about the increasing use and re-use of IP in designs, how to best keep track of that IP, and how to optimize the performance of the data management system to deal with IP in heterogeneous chips. This is particularly important in automotive and industrial applications, where a specific version of IP may have... » read more

Co-Packaged Optics In The Data Center
By Ed Sperling - 08 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

Just because faster Ethernet is added to the data center doesn’t mean existing hardware can utilize it efficiently. Scott Durrant, strategic marketing manager at Synopsys, talks with Semiconductor Engineering about the rapid rollout of faster Ethernet rates, problems in moving data to the front module of the switch and how much energy is required, and what optical technology can bring to the ... » read more

Deep Learning In Industrial Inspection
By Ed Sperling - 24 May, 2022 - Comments: 0

Deep learning is at the upper end of AI complexity, sifting through more data to achieve more accurate results. Charlie Zhu, vice president of R&D at CyberOptics, talks about how DL can be utilized with inspection to identify defects in chips that are not discernible by traditional computer vision algorithms, classifying multiple objects simultaneously from multiple angles and taking into accou... » read more

Protecting ICs Against Specific Threats
By Ed Sperling - 18 May, 2022 - Comments: 0

Identifying potential vulnerabilities and attack vectors is a first step in addressing them. Anders Nordstrom, security application engineer at Tortuga Logic, talks with Semiconductor Engineering about the growing risk of remote hardware attacks, what to do when a chip is hacked, and where to find the most common weaknesses for chips. » read more
