Chip Industry Week In Review
By The SE Staff - 06 Dec, 2024 - Comments: 0

Global chips sales hit a record $56.9 billion in October, a 22% increase versus October 2023, according to the Semiconductor Industry Association. Also, global semiconductor equipment billings reached $30.38 billion in Q3 2024, a 19% YoY increase and 13% growth QoQ, SEMI reported. TSMC commenced equipment installation for its 2nm fab in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, six months ahead of schedule. The 2n... » read more

Top-Down Vs. Bottom-Up Chiplet Design
By Ann Mutschler - 26 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

Chiplets are gaining widespread attention across the semiconductor industry, but for this approach to really take off commercially it will require more standards, better modeling technologies and methodologies, and a hefty amount of investment and experimentation. The case for chiplets is well understood. They can speed up time to market with consistent results, at whatever process node work... » read more

Chiplets Make Progress Using Interconnects As Glue
By Ann Mutschler - 31 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

Breaking up SoCs into their component parts and putting those and other pieces together in some type of heterogeneous assembly is beginning to take shape, fueled by advances in interconnects, complex partitioning, and industry learnings about what works and what doesn't. While the vision of plug-and-play remains intact, getting there is a lot more complicated than initially imagined. It can ... » read more

Siemens’ Stephen Chavez looks at the key benefits and challenges to achieving a successful ECAD-MCAD collaboration. Cadence’s Nayan Gaywala shares the AXI4 locking mechanism when implementing an Xtensa LX-based multi-core system on a Xilinx FPGA platform, using a dual-core design mapped to a KC705 platform as an example. Synopsys’ Vincent van der Leest digs into SRAM PUFs and their ... » read more

Partitioning In The Chiplet Era
By Ann Mutschler - 03 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

The widespread adoption of chiplets in domain-specific applications is creating a partitioning challenge that is much more complex than anything chip design teams have dealt with in previous designs. Nearly all the major systems companies, packaging houses, IDMs, and foundries have focused on chiplets as the best path forward to improve performance and reduce power. Signal paths can be short... » read more

Barriers To Chiplet Sockets
By Brian Bailey - 30 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

Experts At The Table: Demand for chiplets is growing, but debate continues about whether standards and general-purpose chiplets will kick-start the commercialization boom, or whether success will come through customization of those chiplets. Semiconductor Engineeering sat down to discuss these and other related issues with Elad Alon, CEO of Blue Cheetah; Mark Kuemerle, vice president of technol... » read more

Enabling Innovative Multi-Vendor Chiplet-Based Designs
By Elad Alon - 26 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

Chiplets have emerged as a critical implementation paradigm for semiconductor products, primarily because they can deliver cost benefits relative to a non-chiplet-based approach. The first, most well-proven, and obvious benefit of a chiplet-based approach is manufacturing cost. Manufacturing cost benefits are accrued either from the appropriate selection of chiplet die size, or by optimizin... » read more

What Comes After HBM For Chiplets
By Brian Bailey - 18 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

Experts At The Table: Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss what will trigger the creation of a commercial chiplet marketplace, and what those chiplet-based designs will look like, with Elad Alon, CEO of Blue Cheetah; Mark Kuemerle, vice president of technology at Marvell; Kevin Yee, senior director of IP and ecosystem marketing at Samsung; Sailesh Kumar, CEO of Baya Systems; and Tanuja... » read more

Defining The Chiplet Socket
By Brian Bailey - 29 Aug, 2024 - Comments: 0

Experts At The Table: The semiconductor industry has been buzzing with the possibilities surrounding chiplets, but so far this packaging technology has been confined to large semiconductor companies that are vertically integrated. The industry has been attempting to open this up to a broader group of people. To work out what this means for chiplets, and what standardization will be required, Se... » read more

When To Expect Domain-Specific AI Chips
By Brian Bailey - 13 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

The chip industry is moving toward domain-specific computation, while artificial intelligence (AI) is moving in the opposite direction, creating a gap that could force significant changes in how chips and systems are architected in the future. Behind this split is the amount of time it takes to design hardware and software. In the 18 months since ChatGPT was launched on the world, there has ... » read more
