Making Silicon Photonics Chips More Reliable
By Ed Sperling - 09 Jun, 2020 - Comments: 0

Silicon photonics has the ability to dramatically improve on-die and chip-to-chip communication within a package at extremely low power, but ensuring that signal integrity remains consistent over time isn't so simple. While this technology has been used commercially for at least the past decade, it never has achieved mainstream status. That's mostly due to the fact that Moore's Law scaling h... » read more

Introducing The Simulation World Virtual Conference For Multiphysics Verification
By Marc Swinnen - 22 May, 2020 - Comments: 0

The elimination of all live seminars and conferences has been felt particularly acutely by Ansys. The company’s extraordinary breadth of simulation products across many different physics – including fluidics, mechanical, optical, electrical, materials, and semiconductors – means that dozens of events for many different industrial sectors have been cancelled or postponed this year. In r... » read more

‘More Than Moore’ Reality Check
By Ann Mutschler - 14 May, 2020 - Comments: 1

The semiconductor industry is embracing multi-die packages as feature scaling hits the limits of physics, but how to get there with the least amount of pain and at the lowest cost is a work in progress. Gaps remain in tooling and methodologies, interconnect standards are still being developed, and there are so many implementations of packaging that the number of choices is often overwhelming. ... » read more

Using AI-Optimized Tuning To Design 5G And mmWave Filters
By David Shin - 14 May, 2020 - Comments: 0

The demand for 5G applications increases the need for radio frequency (RF) and microwave filter components in the mm-Wave frequency bands. The SynMatrix online interface with the AI-optimized tuning panel. “5G applications present some unique challenges to mm-Wave and 5G passive components,” said Diamond Liu, product manager of SynMatrix. “Fabrication capability limitations make i... » read more
