Week In Review: Semiconductor Manufacturing, Test
By Gregory Haley - 31 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

The U.S. Commerce Department outlined proposed rules for the Chips for America Incentives Program, including additional details on national security measures applicable to the CHIPS Incentives Program included in the CHIPS and Science Act. The rules limit funding recipients from investing in the expansion of semiconductor manufacturing in foreign countries of concern, notably the People’s Rep... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Susan Rambo - 31 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

Synopsys rolled out an AI-driven design suite called Synopsys.ai at the Synopsys User Group conference this week, which it says reduces time to better results at multiple points in the design flow. The company noted the new technology uses reinforcement learning, which compensates for relatively small data sets by allowing engineers to interact with that data more easily at any point, and to ch... » read more

The Race Toward Mixed-Foundry Chiplets
By Ann Mutschler - 23 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 1

Creating chiplets with as much flexibility as possible has captured the imagination of the semiconductor ecosystem, but how heterogeneous integration of chiplets from different foundries will play out remains unclear. Many companies in the semiconductor ecosystem are still figuring out how they will fit into this heterogeneous chiplet world and what issues they will need to solve. While near... » read more

Big Changes Ahead In Power Delivery, Materials, And Interconnects
By Laura Peters - 22 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

Part one of this forecast looked at evolving transistor architectures and lithography platforms. This report examines revolutions in interconnects and packaging. When it comes to device interconnects, it’s hard to beat copper. Its low resistivity and high reliability have served the industry exceedingly well as both on-chip interconnect and wires between chips. But in logic chips, with int... » read more

Tech Forecast: Fab Processes To Watch Through 2040
By Laura Peters - 16 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

The massive proliferation of semiconductors in more markets, and more applications within those markets, is expected to propel the industry to more than $1 trillion by 2030. But over the next 17 years, semiconductors will reach well beyond the numbers, changing the way people work, how they communicate, and how they measure and monitor their health and well-being. Chips will be the enabling ... » read more

NIST has published a draft report, titled “Hardware Enabled Security: Hardware-Based Confidential Computing,” which presents an approach for managing machine identities for protection against malware and other security vulnerabilities. Comments are due April 10, 2023. Abstract "Organizations employ a growing volume of machine identities, often numbering in the thousands or millions per ... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
By Linda Christensen - 10 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

Rambus will begin selling Arm's CryptoCell embedded security platform and CryptoIsland root-of-trust cores, setting the stage for a much broader push by Rambus into security for a wide range of connected devices, and ultimately into security as a service. Under the terms of the deal, Rambus' customers will be able to license Arm IP directly from Rambus. For Arm's existing customers, there will ... » read more
