The Cost Of EDA Data Storage And Processing Efficiency
By Adam Kovac - 09 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

Engineering teams are turning to the cloud to process and store increasing amounts of EDA data, but while the compute resources in hyperscale data centers are virtually unlimited, the move can add costs, slow access to data, and raise new concerns about sustainability. For complex chip designs, the elasticity of the cloud is a huge bonus. With advanced-node chips and packaging, the amount of... » read more

Exploring Machine Learning Enabled Microcontrollers As An Alternative To Linux-Based MPUs
By Infineon - 05 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

In today’s rapidly evolving technology landscape, the distinction between microcontrollers (MCUs) and micro processors (MPUs) is blurring with the introduction of high-performance Arm Cortex M processors. A compelling proposition emerges when a highly integrated device, PSOC™ Edge MCU, combines the power of the Cortex®M55 with advanced graphic peripherals, DSP Helium, and a neural net... » read more

Hardware Security: One-Key Premise of Logic Locking
By Technical Paper Link - 30 Aug, 2024 - Comments: 0

A new technical paper titled "Late Breaking Results: On the One-Key Premise of Logic Locking" was published by researchers at Synopsys. Abstract "The evaluation of logic locking methods has long been predicated on an implicit assumption that only the correct key can unveil the true functionality of a protected circuit. Consequently, a locking technique is deemed secure if it resists a good ... » read more

Leveraging Machine Learning in Semiconductor Yield Analysis
By DR Yield - 09 Jul, 2024 - Comments: 0

Searching through wafer maps looking for spatial patterns is not only a very time-consuming task to be done manually, it’s also prone to human oversight and error, and nearly impossible in a large fab where there are thousands of wafers a day being processed. We developed a tool that applies automatic spatial pattern detection algorithms using ML, parametrizing pattern recognition and clas... » read more

Applying Machine Learning To Accelerate TCAD Calibration
By Dwight Hunter - 20 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

TCAD models are the fundamental building blocks for the semiconductor industry. Whether it is a new process node or a new multi-billion dollar fab, accurate TCAD models must be developed and calibrated before they can be deployed in technology development. While TCAD models have been around for (many) decades, their complexity is growing exponentially, as is the demands placed on the R&D en... » read more

Precise Control Needed For Copper Plating And CMP
By Anne Meixner - 20 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

Chipmakers are relying on machine learning for electroplating and wafer cleaning at leading-edge process nodes, augmenting traditional fault detection/classification and statistical process control in order to extend the usefulness of copper interconnects. Copper is well understood and easy to work with, but it is running out of steam. At 5nm and below, copper plating tools are struggling to... » read more

AI: Great, But Somehow Still Not Very Good
By Charlie Parker - 20 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 0

In an invited presentation at CS Mantech 2024, Charlie Parker, senior machine learning engineer at Tignis, provides context for the AI hype cycle with a high-level overview of machine learning concepts, then explores how the technology fits into the fab, from inventory management to institutional knowledge capture, but warns that it is worth being aware of the ways in which machine learning mod... » read more
