Amplify Simulation Via Effective Data And Process Management
By Ansys - 10 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

Over the past 50 years, engineering simulation has proven its value by reducing development time and costs, as well as dramatically improving product performance. By subjecting their designs to real-world physical forces in a risk-free virtual environment, product development teams can identify issues and address them at an early stage, thus minimizing expensive rework, prototyping, and physica... » read more

Blog Review: April 10
By Jesse Allen - 10 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

Cadence's Shyam Sharma looks at the evolution of the LPDDR standard and finds that LPDDR5X is opening new specialized markets for low-power DRAMs beyond the traditional areas of mobile, IoT, and automotive. Siemens' Hossam Sarhan and Dusan Petranovic find that new physical verification approaches are needed to ensure the performance and reliability of superconducting ICs and introduce a hybr... » read more

Chip Industry Week In Review
By The SE Staff - 05 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

By Jesse Allen, Gregory Haley, and Liz Allan. The Japanese government approved $3.9 billion in funding for chipmaker Rapidus to expand its foundry business, of which 10% will be invested in advanced packaging. This is in addition to the previously announced $2.18 billion in funding. In a meeting next week, the U.S. and Japan are expected to cooperate on increasing semiconductor development a... » read more

Data Center Security Issues Widen
By Adam Kovac - 04 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

The total amount of data will swell to about 200 zettabytes of data next year, much of it stored in massive data centers scattered across the globe that are increasingly vulnerable to attacks of all sorts. The stakes for securing data have been rising steadily as the value of that data increases, making it far more attractive to hackers. This is evident in the scope of the attack targets —... » read more

AI Takes Aim At Chip Industry Workforce Training
By Liz Allan - 04 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

When all the planned fabs become operational, the semiconductor industry is likely to face a worker shortage of 100,000 each in the U.S. and Europe, and more than 200,000 in Asia-Pacific, according to a McKinsey report. Since the dawn of technology, people have worried that robots, automation, and AI will steal their jobs, but these tools also can be put to use to help fill the chip industry ta... » read more

Blog Review: Apr. 3

Siemens' Keith Felton finds that high bandwidth memory integration poses significant challenges for package designers stemming from its unique architecture and stringent performance requirements. Synopsys' Gervais Fong finds out what's new in the USB4 v2 specification, some of its unique challenges involved in doubling the performance capabilities of the USB wired connection, and an intrigui... » read more

The Challenges Of Working With Photonics
By Karen Heyman - 01 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

Experts at the Table: Semiconductor Engineering sat down to talk about where photonics is most useful — and most vulnerable — with James Pond, fellow at Ansys; Gilles Lamant, distinguished engineer at Cadence; and Mitch Heins, business development manager for photonic solutions at Synopsys. What follows are excerpts of that conversation. To view part one of this discussion, click here. ... » read more

Chip Industry Week In Review
By The SE Staff - 29 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

By Adam Kovac, Karen Heyman, and Liz Allan.  China introduced strict procurement guidelines aimed at blocking the use of AMD and Intel processors in government computers. Meanwhile, China urged the Netherlands to ease restrictions on deep ultraviolet (DUV) litho equipment, according to Nikkei Asia. DUV is an older technology, based on 193nm ArF lasers, but in conjunction with multi-p... » read more

What’s Missing In 2.5D EDA Tools
By Brian Bailey - 28 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

Gaps in EDA tool chains for 2.5D designs are limiting the adoption of this advanced packaging approach, which so far has been largely confined to high-performance computing. But as the rest of the chip industry begins migrating toward advanced packaging and chiplets, the EDA industry is starting to change direction. There are learning periods with all new technologies, and 2.5D advanced pack... » read more

Interconnects Essential To Heterogeneous Integration
By Karen Heyman - 28 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

Designing and manufacturing interconnects is becoming more complex, and more critical to device reliability, as the chip industry shifts from monolithic planar dies to collections of chips and chiplets in a package. What was once as simple as laying down a copper trace has evolved into tens of thousands of microbumps, hybrid bonds, through-silicon vias (TSVs), and even junctions for optical ... » read more
