Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Jesse Allen - 17 Dec, 2021 - Comments: 0

Memory CEA-Leti demonstrated 16-kbit ferroelectric random-access memory (FeRAM) arrays at the 130nm node. It utilizes back-end-of-line (BEOL) integration of TiN/HfO2:Si/TiN ferroelectric capacitors as small as 0.16 µm² and solder reflow compatibility for the first time for this type of memory. The researchers anticipate it will be useful for embedded applications such at IoT and wearable dev... » read more

Pervasive computing An outage in network equipment at the US-EAST-1 Region of Amazon Web Services this week reminded customers of the downside to having every appliance run via a data center. Users accessing apps tied to AWS on the East coast found services did not work, including Alexa, Ring, smart appliances, some Amazon warehouses and packaging delivery, web APIs such as Slack, and some str... » read more

Innovations In Sensor Technology
By John Koon - 09 Dec, 2021 - Comments: 0

Sensors are the “eyes” and “ears” of processors, co-processors, and computing modules. They come in all shapes, forms, and functions, and they are being deployed in a rapidly growing number of applications — from edge computing and IoT, to smart cities, smart manufacturing, hospitals, industrial, machine learning, and automotive. Each of these use cases relies on chips to capture d... » read more

Using Manufacturing Data To Boost Reliability
By Ed Sperling and Ann Mutschler - 07 Dec, 2021 - Comments: 0

As chipmakers turn to increasingly customized and complex heterogeneous designs to boost performance per watt, they also are demanding lower defectivity and higher yields to help offset the rising design and manufacturing costs. Solving those issues is a mammoth multi-vendor effort. There can be hundreds of process steps in fabs and packaging houses. And as feature sizes continue to shrink, ... » read more

Streaming Scan Network: An Efficient Packetized Data Network For Testing Of Complex SoCs
By Siemens EDA - 07 Dec, 2021 - Comments: 0

Originally presented at the 2020 International Test Conference by Siemens and Intel authors, this paper describes the Tessent Streaming Scan Network technology and demonstrates how this packetized data network optimizes test time and implementation productivity for today’s complex SoCs. The author-submitted version of the IEEE paper is reprinted here with permission. Authors: Jean-Françoi... » read more

Success Stories For Packetized Scan Data
By Geir Eide - 07 Dec, 2021 - Comments: 0

Some new design-for-test (DFT) technologies are difficult, expensive, or risky to implement but offer significant benefits. Other technologies are easy to implement but offer minor improvements. The calculation of whether (or when) to adopt new technology includes consideration of the pressures of DFT today—design complexity, the lack of flexibility in hardwiring scan channels, the proliferat... » read more
