Challenges In Managing Chiplet Resources
By Ann Mutschler - 27 Mar, 2025 - Comments: 0

Managing chiplet resources is emerging as a significant and multi-faceted challenge as chiplets expand beyond the proprietary designs of large chipmakers and interact with other elements in a package or system. Poor resource management in chiplets adds an entirely new dimension to the usual power, performance, and area tradeoffs. It can lead to performance bottlenecks, because as chiplets co... » read more

First-Time Silicon Success Plummets
By Ed Sperling - 27 Mar, 2025 - Comments: 0

First-time silicon success is falling sharply due to rising complexity, the need for more iterations as chipmakers shift from monolithic chips to multi-die assemblies, and an increasing amount of customization that makes design and verification more time-consuming. Details from a new functional verification survey[1] highlight the growing difficulty of developing advanced chips that are both... » read more

Digital Twins For Design And Verification Workflows
By Brian Bailey - 27 Mar, 2025 - Comments: 0

Experts At The Table: AI is starting to impact several parts of the EDA design and verification flows, but so far these improvements are isolated to a single tool or small flows provided by a single company. What is required is a digital twin of the development process itself, on which AI can operate. Semiconductor Engineering sat down with a panel of experts, including Johannes Stahl, senior d... » read more

The Evolving Role Of AI In Verification
By Ann Mutschler - 26 Mar, 2025 - Comments: 0

Experts At The Table: The pressure on verification engineers to ensure the functional correctness of devices has increased exponentially as chips have gotten more complex and evolved into SoC, 3D-ICs, multi-die chiplets and beyond. Semiconductor Engineering sat down with a panel of experts, which included Josh Rensch, director of application engineering at Arteris; Matt Graham, senior group dir... » read more

Blog Review: Mar. 26
By Jesse Allen - 26 Mar, 2025 - Comments: 0

Siemens' Bianca Ward argues that sustainability must be considered starting from the design phase to reduce the energy consumption of ICs as well as the production processes used to manufacture them. Synopsys' Adrien Tozzoli looks at how physical optics simulation can be improved by using beam synthesis propagation, a method that decomposes the optical field into a collection of beamlets to ... » read more

Chip Industry Week In Review
By The SE Staff - 21 Mar, 2025 - Comments: 0

Semiconductor industry energy consumption grew 125% between 2015 and 2023, while direct greenhouse gas emissions rose 23% in the same period, according to the Europe think tank Interface, which analyzed corporate social responsibility reports from 28 global chip manufacturers. CSIS' new report "Understanding U.S. Allies’ Current Legal Authority to Implement AI and Semiconductor Export Cont... » read more

TCAD-Based AI Models For Modern Fab Workflows
By Saurabh Suryavanshi - 20 Mar, 2025 - Comments: 0

The relentless pace of semiconductor development continues unabated. Despite the slowdown in Moore’s law, feature sizes continue to shrink as new geometries come online. Constant innovations in both fab processes and device design offer new opportunities but present new challenges. As in so many other areas of electronics, artificial intelligence (AI) is starting to play a significant role. ... » read more

What Exactly Are Chiplets And Heterogeneous Integration?
By Bryon Moyer - 20 Mar, 2025 - Comments: 1

The terms “chiplet” and “heterogeneous integration” fill news pages, conference papers, and marketing presentations, and for the most part engineers understand what they're reading. But speakers sometimes stumble during a presentation trying to figure out whether a particular die qualifies as a chiplet, and heterogeneous integration comes in different guises for different people. Both t... » read more
