How to deal with gaps that can impact reliability.
Despite standards such as ISO 26262 and IEC 61508, there are still disconnects and gaps in the supply chain and design-through-manufacturing flows. Kurt Shuler, vice president of marketing at Arteris IP, digs into what’s missing, why changes made in one area are not reflected in other areas and throughout the product lifecycle, and why various different phases of the flow don’t always match up with the initial requirements.
The industry is gaining ground in understanding how aging affects reliability, but more variables make it harder to fix.
While terms often are used interchangeably, they are very different technologies with different challenges.
Key pivot and innovation points in semiconductor manufacturing.
Tools become more specific for Si/SiGe stacks, 3D NAND, and bonded wafer pairs.
Thinner photoresist layers, line roughness, and stochastic defects add new problems for the angstrom generation of chips.
Less precision equals lower power, but standards are required to make this work.
Open-source processor cores are beginning to show up in heterogeneous SoCs and packages.
New applications require a deep understanding of the tradeoffs for different types of DRAM.
Open source by itself doesn’t guarantee security. It still comes down to the fundamentals of design.
How customization, complexity, and geopolitical tensions are upending the global status quo.
127 startups raise $2.6B; data center connectivity, quantum computing, and batteries draw big funding.
The industry is gaining ground in understanding how aging affects reliability, but more variables make it harder to fix.
Ensuring that your product contains the best RISC-V processor core is not an easy decision, and current tools are not up to the task.
