Managing EDA’s Rapid Growth Expectations


The EDA industry has been doing very well recently, but how long this run will continue is a matter of debate. EDA is an industry ripe for disruption due to rapid changes in chip architectures, end markets, and a long list of new technologies. In addition, recent geopolitical tensions are bringing a lot more attention to this small sector upon which the whole semiconductor industry rests. De... » read more

Manufacturing Bits: Dec. 21


Tiny electronic fountain pens Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Taiyuan University of Technology have developed what resembles a tiny electronic fountain pen, a technology that can pattern and deposit small structures on surfaces. The system from KIT and Taiyuan University is actually a high-precision tabletop microplotter, which is used to print or deposit materials for printed e... » read more

Can Coherent Optics Reduce Data-Center Power?


As optical bandwidth requirements increase, system designers are turning to “coherent” modulation schemes that can place more data on the same laser light, and lower power over long connections. A newer question is whether those savings could be achieved for short connections within data centers, as well. “Coherent is the direction everything's moving, because for a given system and... » read more
