Mentor’s Nazita Saye has stumbled on a phone that you can build yourself from various components. When something breaks, you simply change out what’s broken. Wasn’t that the concept behind the original Volkswagen Beetle? Cadence’s Brian Fuller launches into the discussion about 16nm headaches, including finFET parasitics, pin access and wire resistance. Looks like the transition to f... » read more

Uncertainty Increases About What’s Next
By Ed Sperling - 24 Oct, 2013 - Comments: 0

Across the semiconductor industry, there is a lot of talk about what’s next. Lithography advances have stalled, NRE and mask costs are rising, and complexity is exploding. But unlike the 1 micron wall, which was supposed to be impenetrable, there is no single issue holding back progress. Instead, there are lots of them, most with pricey workarounds, but which together become more complicat... » read more

There’s A New Paradigm In Town
By Kurt Shuler - 24 Oct, 2013 - Comments: 0

I recently wrote an article in the October 9th issue of EETimes that appears to have rattled the semiconductor industry a bit. Entitled “Wake Up, Semi Industry: System OEMs Might Not Need You,” the article conveyed the fact that many system-level OEMs now have the capability — and desire — to develop their own application-specific chips. This may be news to many. But a simple review... » read more
