Chip Industry Week In Review
By The SE Staff - 15 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

CSIS issued a new report that says Intel is "not too big to fail, but too good to lose." The report noted that Intel is needed for national security, and that it must be viewed in a geopolitical context rather than from a purely business standpoint when it comes to funding the company. Japan's government is creating a 10 trillion yen (~$65 billion) fund for next-gen technologies, including A... » read more

Extending Chip Lifetime With Safer Voltage Scaling
By Eyal Fayneh - 12 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

What if your chips lived 20% longer without compromising performance, and even while reducing power consumption? How would it affect your product’s reliability and cost? What would be the effect on your profitability? With the demand for longer-lasting chips growing across industries, designers and reliability engineers face increasing pressure to ensure their products perform correctly fo... » read more

Outsmarting Silent Data Corruption In AI Processors With Two-Stage Detection
By proteanTecs - 12 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

Silent data corruption is on the rise following advancements in semiconductor technology. The explosion in AI for speech, image, video, and text processing leads to a growing complexity and diversity of hardware systems, bringing an increased risk to data integrity. SDC rate is much higher than software engineers expect, undermining the hardware reliability they used to take for granted. Rec... » read more

Metrology Advances Step Up To Sub-2nm Device Node Needs
By Laura Peters - 15 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

Metrology and inspection are dealing with a slew of issues tied to 3D measurements, buried defects, and higher sensitivity as device features continue to shrink to 2nm and below. This is made even more challenging due to increasing pressure to ramp new processes more quickly. Metrology tool suppliers must exceed current needs by a process node or two to ensure solutions are ready to meet tig... » read more

From Reaction To Prevention In Data Center RAS
By Noam Brousard - 15 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI), cloud services, and IoT has fueled the rapid expansion of hyperscale data centers. These massive facilities house thousands of servers, all working to support an increasingly digital world. But as the scale of data centers grows, so too does the need for reliable and high-performance semiconductors. Semiconductor failures and inconsistencies can cause s... » read more

Real-Time Safety Monitoring
By Ed Sperling - 28 Aug, 2024 - Comments: 0

Various types of semiconductor test will determine whether a chip is free of defects and meets the specification, but understanding how it's behaving in the field under real workloads and harsh ambient conditions may be very different in automotive applications, where vibration, heat, cold can disrupt the normal functioning of a chip over time and reduce its lifespan. Alex Burlak, vice presiden... » read more

AI/ML’s Role In Design And Test Expands
By Laura Peters - 06 Aug, 2024 - Comments: 1

The role of AI and ML in test keeps growing, providing significant time and money savings that often exceed initial expectations. But it doesn't work in all cases, sometimes even disrupting well-tested process flows with questionable return on investment. One of the big attractions of AI is its ability to apply analytics to large data sets that are otherwise limited by human capabilities. In... » read more
