Small Language Models Create New Security Risks
By Ed Sperling - 04 Dec, 2025 - Comments: 0

The rollout of edge AI is creating new security risks due to a mix of small language models (SLMs), their integration into increasingly complex hardware, and the behavior and interactions of both over time. AI data centers still garner the most attention due to massive investments and an ongoing flood of deals and acquisitions, but the edge is quietly starting to take shape for several reaso... » read more

AI Plays Multiple Roles Within EDA
By Brian Bailey - 25 Nov, 2025 - Comments: 0

AI's infusion into our world may seem sudden and unexpected, but EDA has been quietly adopting it for more than a decade. What's changed is that it's now becoming more visible, thanks to increasingly powerful large language models (LLMs) and the need to apply them to increasingly challenging multi-physics problems. Two fundamental shifts underlie AI's increasing prominence. First, heat is be... » read more

New Panel Production Efforts Target Interposer Costs
By Bryon Moyer - 20 Nov, 2025 - Comments: 0

The rising cost of increasingly large interposers is spurring renewed interest in panel-level manufacturing, which for years has hobbled along due to the massive and collective effort required by the chip industry to change formats. Several companies are developing their own processes, although there is currently no commercial production. And a new consortium called Joint3, spearheaded by Ja... » read more

Operator Shortage? Intelligent Machine Vision Can Give More And Better Wafer Inspection
By Errol Akomer - 20 Nov, 2025 - Comments: 0

Right now, wafer manufacturers are having serious problems in finding and retaining operators. And they're desperately looking for ways to keep their fabs running effectively. Fortunately, machine vision can offer a smart solution. To see how it works, let’s first look at the basic fab workflow and check out some opportunities for improvement… How to improve ADI In a typical fab, after... » read more

Machine Learning Tools Accelerate Materials Discovery
By Katherine Derbyshire - 20 Nov, 2025 - Comments: 0

Literature searches, simulations, and practical experiments have been part of the materials science toolkit for decades, but the last few years have seen an explosion of machine learning-driven software tools that promise to accelerate all three. Many of the challenges facing the semiconductor manufacturing industry are fundamentally materials science problems. What metal has the lowest resi... » read more
