Keysight’s Jenn Mullen explains how ChatGPT’s tools can help quality assurance (QA) engineers and software testers overcome test automation debt, and become more productive and able to deliver consistently high-quality products to market faster. Siemens’ Keith Felton discusses how the paradigm of “shift-left” power delivery analysis has emerged as a critical methodology in addressi... » read more

Glass Substrates Gain Foothold In Advanced Packages
By Gregory Haley - 09 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 2

Glass substrates are starting to gain traction in advanced packages, fueled by the potential for denser routing and higher signal performance than the organic substrates used today. There are still plenty of problems to solve before this approach becomes mainstream. While glass itself is cheap and shares some important physical similarities to silicon, there are challenges with buildup, stre... » read more

Pressure Builds On Failure Analysis Labs
By Laura Peters - 09 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

Failure analysis labs are becoming more fab-like, offering higher accuracy in locating failures and accelerating time-to-market of new devices. These labs historically have been used for deconstructing devices that failed during field use, known as return material authorizations (RMAs), but their role is expanding. They now are becoming instrumental in achieving first silicon and ramping yie... » read more

Empowering Universities By Retaining Raman Knowledge
By Inga Koehler - 09 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

A big chunk of precious research funds spent on an expensive piece of equipment, for example a Raman microscope. Now, such a magnificent piece of hardware can seem quite intimidating. After all, it could be capable of building a spaceship! Now a poor graduate student must face copious amounts of training, becoming a real expert over the span of 3 to 4 years. Mostly because the professor ... » read more

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

By Susan Rambo, Jesse Allen, and Liz Allan The U.S. government will provide about $162 million in federal incentives, under the CHIPS and Science Act, to help Microchip onshore its semiconductor supply chain. The move is aimed at securing a reliable domestic supply of MCUs and mature-node chips. “Today’s announcement will help propel semiconductor manufacturing projects in Colorado and O... » read more

Closing The Test And Metrology Gap In 3D-IC Packages
By Gregory Haley - 12 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

The industry is investing in more precise and productive inspection and testing to enable advanced packages and eventually, 3D ICs. The next generations of aerospace, automotive, smartphone, and wearable tech most likely will be powered by multiple layers of intricately connected silicon, a stark departure from the planar landscapes of traditional integrated circuits. These 3D-ICs, compos... » read more
