Integrated Ethernet PCS And PHY IP For 400G/800G Hyperscale Data Centers
By Priyank Shukla - 09 Sep, 2021 - Comments: 0

Ethernet has become the primary network protocol of choice for the required server-to-server communication in hyperscale data centers, as it allows hyperscalers to disaggregate network switches and install their software operating systems independently. Ethernet enables cost-effective, dense, open switches and networking technologies which reduce cost/power per bit with transistor scaling. Ethe... » read more

Bumps Vs. Hybrid Bonding For Advanced Packaging
By Mark LaPedus - 23 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 3

Advanced packaging continues to gain steam, but now customers must decide whether to design their next high-end packages using existing interconnect schemes or move to a next-generation, higher-density technology called copper hybrid bonding. The decision is far from simple, and in some cases both technologies may be used. Each technology adds new capabilities in next-generation advanced pac... » read more

Scaling Simulation
By Brian Bailey - 27 May, 2021 - Comments: 1

Without functional simulation the semiconductor industry would not be where it is today, but some people in the industry contend it hasn't received the attention and research it deserves, causing a stagnation in performance. Others disagree, noting that design sizes have increased by orders of magnitude while design times have shrunk, pointing to simulation remaining a suitable tool for the job... » read more

Study On High-Performance Computing Usage For Engineering Simulation
By Ansys - 12 May, 2021 - Comments: 0

Simulation will play a critical role in the development of new market disrupting technology, from autonomous vehicles to 5G cellular networks, and the need for on-premises or cloud-based HPC resources to support those efforts is only going to increase. This white paper explores: How companies are using HPC-based simulation. The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on HPC usage and adoptio... » read more

Week In Review: Manufacturing, Test
By Mark LaPedus - 16 Apr, 2021 - Comments: 0

Chipmakers TSMC has posted strong results and raised its capital spending budget to $30 billion, up from its prior guidance of $25 billion to $28 billion in 2021. “Its outlook indicates broad-based semiconductor demand continues to strengthen amid supply chain tightness,” said Weston Twigg, an analyst at KeyBanc, in a research note. “TSMC posted another quarter of strong demand for leadi... » read more
