Meeting The Test Challenges Of Ultra-Wideband Chipsets
By Kevin Yan - 09 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

By Kevin Yan and Daniel Sun This article is adapted from a paper and presentation at SEMICON China, March 2023. Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology, as defined by IEEE 802.15.4 and 802.15.4z standards, enables short-range, low-power RF location-based services and wireless communication. A variety of devices have reached the market to help implement UWB capability, but these devices present si... » read more

Unlocking Value: The Power of AI in Semiconductor Test
By Advantest - 09 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

AI (Artificial Intelligence) and data analytics empower semiconductor manufacturers to extract valuable insights from the massive amounts of data generated throughout the silicon lifecycle. By leveraging AI algorithms, semiconductor manufacturers can optimize silicon design, assembly, and testing processes. Through the analysis of vast datasets, AI can identify patterns, predict failures, and o... » read more

Chip Industry Week In Review

Proprietary Vs. Commercial Chiplets
By Ed Sperling - 19 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

Large chipmakers are focusing on chiplets as the best path forward for integrating more functions into electronic devices. The challenge now is how to pull the rest of the chip industry along, creating a marketplace for third-party chiplets that can be chosen from a menu using specific criteria that can speed time to market, help to control costs, and behave as reliably as chiplets developed in... » read more

Synopsys has been building up its RISC-V portfolio, starting with ARC-V processor IP and a full suite of tools introduced last month. The first high-NA EUV R&D center in the U.S. will be built at... » read more

Testing ICs Faster, Sooner, And Better
By Laura Peters - 12 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

The infrastructure around semiconductor testing is changing as companies build systems capable of managing big data, utilizing real-time data streams and analysis to reduce escape rates on complex IC devices. At the heart of these tooling and operational changes is the need to solve infant mortality issues faster, and to catch latent failures before they become reliability problems in the fi... » read more

Fingerprinting Chips For Traceability
By Anne Meixner - 12 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

Semiconductor components increasingly require unclonable and tamper resistant identifiers, which are especially necessary as devices become increasingly heterogeneous collections of chiplets and subsystems. These fingerprints provide traceability, which contributes to process improvements and yield learning and enable tracking for a tightly managed supply chain. While some of this technology... » read more

Deploying Cutting-Edge Adaptive Test Analytics Apps
By Ken Butler - 12 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

By Ken Butler, Advantest, and Guy Cortez, Synopsys Semiconductor test challenges abound in this era of AI. As such, semiconductor test engineering is increasingly moving towards fully adaptive test where each device receives the “right” test content to assess its correctness. Advantest and Synopsys have partnered to provide new cutting-edge real-time adaptive test applications at the te... » read more
