Week In Review: Semiconductor Manufacturing, Test


Chinese memory chip maker YMTC and dozens of other Chinese entities are "at risk" of being added to a trade blacklist as soon as Dec. 6, a U.S. Commerce Department official said in prepared remarks seen by Reuters. SMIC co-CEO Zhao Haijun said on an earnings call that recent export controls from the United States will have an "adverse impact" on the company's production. The U.K. has rule... » read more

Lithography Modeling: Data Augmentation Framework


A new technical paper titled "An Adversarial Active Sampling-based Data Augmentation Framework for Manufacturable Chip Design" was published by researchers at the University of Texas at Austin, Nvidia, and the California Institute of Technology. Abstract: "Lithography modeling is a crucial problem in chip design to ensure a chip design mask is manufacturable. It requires rigorous simulation... » read more

Week In Review: Semiconductor Manufacturing, Test


The United States imposed further export controls aimed at preventing foreign firms from selling advanced chips to China or supplying Chinese firms with semiconductor processing tools. Under new regulations, companies looking to supply Chinese chipmakers with advanced manufacturing equipment (<14nm) must first obtain a license from the U.S. Department of Commerce. Officials noted that they h... » read more

More Efficient On-Chip Laser Frequency Comb (Harvard)


A new technical paper titled "High-efficiency and broadband on-chip electro-optic frequency comb generators" was published by researchers at Harvard, Stanford, Caltech, and Hyperlight. The research claims the electro-optic frequency device is 100% more efficient and has 2X the bandwidth of previous technology.    According to Harvard's news release, "the latest research applies the two con... » read more

Quantum Research Bits: Sept. 12


Making Qubits Last Longer One of the big challenges in quantum computing is extending the lifespan of qubits, called coherence time, long enough to do something useful with them. Research is now focused on how to increase that usable lifetime, and what factors can impact that. This has led to very different conclusions about whether silicon is a good substrate choice for quantum chips. Rese... » read more

Training a Quantum Neural Network Requires Only A Small Amount of Data


A new research paper titled "Generalization in quantum machine learning from few training data" was published by researchers at Technical University of Munich, Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology (MCQST), Caltech, and Los Alamos National Lab. “Many people believe that quantum machine learning will require a lot of data. We have rigorously shown that for many relevant problems,... » read more

Week In Review, Manufacturing, Test


Post-CHIPS Act Micron is discussing a potential new fab that could employ thousands of workers, following the passage of the Chips and Science Act. Idaho is hoping it will be built near its headquarters facilities in Boise, but Micron hasn’t committed publicly. Rob Beard, senior vice president, general counsel and corporate secretary at Micron, told the Idaho Statesman the company is consi... » read more
