Adaptive Test Ramps For Data Intelligence Era
By Laura Peters - 08 Feb, 2024 - Comments: 0

Widely available and nearly unlimited compute resources, coupled with the availability of sophisticated algorithms, are opening the door to adaptive testing. But the speed at which this testing approach is adopted will continue to vary due to persistent concerns about data sharing and the potential for IP theft and data leakage. Adaptive testing is all about making timely changes to a test p... » read more

Hidden Costs And Tradeoffs In IC Quality
By Gregory Haley - 08 Feb, 2024 - Comments: 0

Balancing reliability against cost is becoming more difficult for semiconductor test, as chip complexity increases and devices become more domain-specific. Tests need to be efficient and effective without breaking the bank, while also ensuring chips are of sufficient quality for their specific application. The problem is that every new IC device adds its own set of challenges, from smaller f... » read more

Reducing Power In Data Centers
By Ed Sperling - 16 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

The rollout of generative AI, coupled with more data in general, is requiring data centers to run servers harder and longer. That, in turn, is generating more heat and accelerating aging, and to ensure these systems continue working over their projected lifetimes, chipmakers are building extra margin into chips. That increases the amount of energy required to run and cool them, and it can short... » read more

Plugging Gaps In The IC Supply Chain
By Anne Meixner - 09 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

Multiple touch points in manufacturing and packaging are exposing gaps in the data used to track different components, making it difficult to identify the source of issues that can affect yield and reliability, and opening the door to counterfeit or sub-standard parts. This involves more than just assigning a simple identifying code to a chip. At different points in a device's lifecycle, new... » read more

Using Deep Data For Improved Reliability Testing
By Ed Sperling - 08 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

Reliability testing always has been a challenge for semiconductor companies, but it’s becoming much more difficult as devices continue to shrink, as they’re integrated together in advanced packages, and as they’re utilized under different conditions with life expectancy that varies by application and use case. Nir Sever, senior director of business development at proteanTecs, and Luca Mor... » read more

By Jesse Allen, Gregory Haley, and Liz Allan Synopsys acquired Imperas, pushing further into the RISC-V world with Imperas' virtual platform technology for verifying and emulating processors. Synopsys has been building up its RISC-V portfolio, starting with ARC-V processor IP and a full suite of tools introduced last month. The first high-NA EUV R&D center in the U.S. will be built at... » read more

Fingerprinting Chips For Traceability
By Anne Meixner - 12 Dec, 2023 - Comments: 0

Semiconductor components increasingly require unclonable and tamper resistant identifiers, which are especially necessary as devices become increasingly heterogeneous collections of chiplets and subsystems. These fingerprints provide traceability, which contributes to process improvements and yield learning and enable tracking for a tightly managed supply chain. While some of this technology... » read more
