Chip Industry’s Technical Paper Roundup: Feb. 14
By Linda Christensen - 14 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

New technical papers recently added to Semiconductor Engineering’s library: [table id=80 /] If you have research papers you are trying to promote, we will review them to see if they are a good fit for our global audience. At a minimum, papers need to be well researched and documented, relevant to the semiconductor ecosystem, and free of marketing bias. There is no cost involved for us p... » read more

New Method Improves Machine Learning Models’ Reliability, With Less Computing Resources (MIT, U. of Florida, IBM Watson)
By Technical Paper Link - 13 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

A new technical paper titled "Post-hoc Uncertainty Learning using a Dirichlet Meta-Model" was published (preprint) by researchers at MIT, University of Florida, and MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab (IBM Research). The work demonstrates how to quantify the level of certainty in its predictions, while using less compute resources. “Uncertainty quantification is essential for both developers and users o... » read more

Imec released its semiconductor roadmap, which calls for doubling compute power every six months to handle the data explosion and new data-intensive problems. Imec named five walls (scaling, memory, power, sustainability, cost) that need to be dismantled. The roadmap (below) stretches from 7nm to 0.2nm (2 angstroms) by 2036, and includes four generations of gate-all-around FETs followed by thre... » read more
