Heat-Related Issues Impact Reliability In Advanced IC Designs
By Ann Mutschler - 18 Jul, 2024 - Comments: 1

Heat is becoming a much bigger problem in advanced-node chips and packages, causing critical electrons to leak out of DRAM, timing and reliability issues in 3D-ICs, and accelerated aging that are unique to different workloads. All types of circuitry are vulnerable to thermal effects. It can slow the movement of the electrons through wires, cause electromigration that shortens the lifespan of... » read more

Effectively Monitor And Streamline Test Processes Using A DAQ
By Keysight - 13 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

Manufacturing and field operations generate a high volume of data, and they are also fueling growth in the use of smart remote sensing and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). The data that is generated gives users visibility into their operations in real time or near real time to help them make decisions quickly. Time is a critical factor when high-volume production lines go down, electri... » read more

Shai Cohen, co-founder and CEO of proteanTecs, sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to talk about how to boost reliability and add resiliency into chips and advanced packaging. What follows are excerpts of that conversation. SE: Several years ago, no one was thinking about on-chip monitoring. What's changed? Cohen: Today it is obvious that a solution is needed for optimizing performanc... » read more

Can ML Help Verification? Maybe
By Brian Bailey - 22 Sep, 2022 - Comments: 0

Functional verification produces an enormous amount of data that could be used to train a machine learning system, but it's not always clear which data is useful or whether it can help. The challenge with ML is understanding when and where to use it, and how to integrate it with other tools and approaches. With a big enough hammer, it is tempting to call everything a nail, and just throwing ... » read more

Telecare Challenges: Secure, Reliable, Lower Power
By John Koon - 20 Jul, 2022 - Comments: 0

The adoption of telecare using a variety of connected digital devices is opening the door to much more rapid response to medical emergencies, as well as more consistent monitoring, but it also is adding new challenges involving connectivity, security, and power consumption. Telecare has been on the horizon for the better part of two decades, but it really began ramping with improvements in s... » read more

Data Management Position: An Automated Approach to Intelligent PCB Design Data Management
By Cadence - 04 May, 2022 - Comments: 0

The design cycle of electronic devices produces vast amounts of data. From a top-level view, this data can be broken down into basic blocks, including software, circuit board design, mechanical design, and others. These blocks contain extensive and complex information, including the types and amounts of individual data and information files, as well as their hierarchy structure. This data and i... » read more
