Semiconductor Engineering sat down with Aart de Geus, executive chair and founder of Synopsys, to talk about the shift from chips to systems, next-generation transistors, and what's required to build multi-die devices in the context of rapid change and other systems. SE: What are the biggest changes you're seeing in the chip industry these days, and why now? de Geus: It's not just the siz... » read more

Chip Industry Week In Review
By The SE Staff - 23 Feb, 2024 - Comments: 0

By Jesse Allen, Gregory Haley, and Liz Allan Intel officially launched Intel Foundry this week, claiming it's the "world's first systems foundry for the AI era." The foundry also showed off a more detailed technology roadmap down to expanded 14A process technology. Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger noted the foundry will be separate from the chipmaker, utilize third-party chiplets and IP, and leverage... » read more

Intel, And Others, Inside
By Ed Sperling - 22 Feb, 2024 - Comments: 2

Intel this week made a strong case for how it will regain global process technology leadership, unfurling an aggressive technology and business roadmap that includes everything from several more process node shrinks that ultimately could scale into the single-digit angstrom range to a broad shift in how it approaches the market. Both will be essential for processing the huge amount of data for ... » read more

Utilizing Artificial Intelligence For Efficient Semiconductor Manufacturing
By Vivek Jain - 22 Feb, 2024 - Comments: 0

The challenges before semiconductor fabs are expansive and evolving. As the size of chips shrinks from nanometers to eventually angstroms, the complexity of the manufacturing process increases in response. It can take hundreds of process steps and more than a month to process a single wafer. It can subsequently take more than another month to go through the assembly, testing, and packaging st... » read more

This white paper identifies and discusses the computational needs required to support the development, optimization, and implementation of high NA extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. It explores the challenges associated with the increased complexity of high NA systems, proposes potential solutions, and highlights the importance of computational lithography in driving the success of advanced... » read more

Blog Review: Feb. 21
By Jesse Allen - 21 Feb, 2024 - Comments: 0

Siemens' John McMillan digs into physical verification maturity for high-density advanced packaging (HDAP) designs and major differences in the LVS verification flow compared to the well-established process for SoCs. Synopsys' Varun Shah identifies why a cloud adoption framework is key to getting the most out of deploying EDA tools in the cloud, including by ensuring that different types of ... » read more

Why Chiplets Are So Critical In Automotive
By John Koon - 20 Feb, 2024 - Comments: 1

Chiplets are gaining renewed attention in the automotive market, where increasing electrification and intense competition are forcing companies to accelerate their design and production schedules. Electrification has lit a fire under some of the biggest and best-known carmakers, which are struggling to remain competitive in the face of very short market windows and constantly changing requir... » read more

Impact Of 3DHI On Aerospace And Government Applications
By Ian Land - 15 Feb, 2024 - Comments: 0

By Ian Land, Kenneth Larsen, and Rob Aitken With challenging size, weight, and power (SWaP) requirements, chip designs for aerospace, defense, and government applications are a unique breed. No surprise here, considering systems like satellites and submarines must operate reliably in the distinctly harsh environments of outer space and ocean depths, respectively. Given the SWaP criteria a... » read more
