5 Ways To Cut Power
By Ed Sperling - 16 Jun, 2011 - Comments: 0

By Ed Sperling Low energy consumption with minimal leakage has emerged as the most competitive element in an IC design, regardless of whether it involves a plug, a battery, or whether it’s powered by a gasoline engine. While components on an SoC aren’t always power-aware, they’ll have to be in the future as consumers focus first on energy efficiency. With rising fuel costs, a concern ... » read more

By Joanne Itow Last week Semico visited the GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ Fab 8 construction site and was impressed for several reasons. Not only is the infrastructure significant but the people and surrounding community have welcomed GLOBALFOUDNRIES, embraced the project as well as the invasion of businesses and people that go along with the project. This made our visit extremely pleasant and trouble... » read more

IC Yield Issues

Who’s In Control?
By Ed Sperling - 26 May, 2011 - Comments: 0

By Ed Sperling A power shift is under way across the SoC world that ultimately determine who wins the business, who gets the biggest share and what technologies are ultimately used to get there. Complexity has reached a point where being able to pull the necessary pieces from a disaggregated supply chain is becoming much more difficult. That helps explain why all three of the major EDA comp... » read more

Waiting for Porous Low-k
By Katherine Derbyshire - 12 May, 2011 - Comments: 0

I'm working on a longer article on low-k dielectric integration, but in the meantime I wanted to pass along an observation from Joubert Olivier of LTM-CNRS, in his presentation at the Materials Research Society Spring Meeting. Asked about the prospects for low-k integration, he reminded the audience that even if an integration scheme is able to achieve good selectivity between the hard mask ... » read more

High Performance And Low Power
By Ed Sperling - 14 Apr, 2011 - Comments: 0

By Pallab Chatterjee As mobile platforms become a larger part of the component spectrum, their need for optimization beyond low power has moved to the forefront. Traditionally, standard "line-cord" based products in both the consumer and commercial sectors have used the "G" label processes from semiconductor foundries. These processes had the highest-yielding combination of design rules, d... » read more
