Veterans Could Close The Semi Industry’s Workforce Gap

By Liz Allan - 22 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

Veterans are beginning to form a valuable talent pool for advanced manufacturing and chip-sector positions, helping to fill the current and projected future gap in qualified workers as new fabs come online, and adding discipline and skills that are difficult to find otherwise. The job opportunities are many, and so are the possible job paths. In some cases, veterans are looking to make a qui... » read more

Chip Aging Becoming Key Factor In Data Center Economics

By Ann Mutschler - 20 May, 2024 - Comments: 1

Chip aging is becoming a much bigger concern inside of data centers, where it can impact server uptime, utilization rates, and the amount of energy needed to drive signals and cool entire server racks. Aging in chips is the result of both higher logic utilization and increasing transistor density. This is problematic for data centers, in general, but especially for AI chips where digital log... » read more

Running More Efficient AI/ML Code With Neuromorphic Engines

By Karen Heyman - 16 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

Neuromorphic engineering is finally getting closer to market reality, propelled by the AI/ML-driven need for low-power, high-performance solutions. Whether current initiatives result in true neuromorphic devices, or whether devices will be inspired by neuromorphic concepts, remains to be seen. But academic and industry researchers continue to experiment in the hopes of achieving significant ... » read more

Testing/Probing Single Electrons Across 300mm Spin Qubit Wafers (Intel)

By The SE Staff - 15 May, 2024 - Comments: 0

A technical paper titled “Probing single electrons across 300-mm spin qubit wafers” was published by researchers at Intel Corporation. Abstract: "Building a fault-tolerant quantum computer will require vast numbers of physical qubits. For qubit technologies based on solid-state electronic devices, integrating millions of qubits in a single processor will require device fabrication to reac... » read more
