Process Innovations Enabling Next-Gen SoCs and Memories
By Laura Peters - 20 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

Achieving improvements in performance in advanced SoCs and packages — those used in mobile applications, data centers, and AI — will require complex and potentially costly changes in architectures, materials, and core manufacturing processes. Among the options under consideration are new compute architectures, different materials, including thinner barrier layers and those with higher th... » read more

HBM-Enabled FPGA-Based Graph Processing Accelerator
By Technical Paper Link - 19 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

A technical paper titled "ACTS: A Near-Memory FPGA Graph Processing Framework" was published by researchers at University of Virginia and Samsung. Abstract: "Despite the high off-chip bandwidth and on-chip parallelism offered by today's near-memory accelerators, software-based (CPU and GPU) graph processing frameworks still suffer performance degradation from under-utilization of available ... » read more

Week In Review: Semiconductor Manufacturing & Test
By Gregory Haley - 17 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

The Biden Administration’s export bans for semiconductor manufacturing equipment are delaying expansion plans for Chinese chipmakers, Nikkei Asia reports. Yangtze Memory Technologies (YMTC) has halted work on its second memory plant near Wuhan, and ChangXin Memory Technologies (CMTX) says its second production facility, slated to open in 2023, will be delayed until 2024 or 2025. In an effo... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Linda Christensen - 17 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

It’s earnings season. Arm, Cadence, Synopsys, Siemens (consolidated), Rambus, and Renesas reported quarterly results over the past couple weeks. All posted year-over-year revenue growth, despite an overall challenging macroeconomic climate. A roundup of all the chip industry earnings reports from the past several weeks can be found here. The edge computing market is projected to jump to al... » read more

Devices And Transistors For The Next 75 Years
By Laura Peters - 16 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

The 75th anniversary of the invention of the transistor sparked a lively panel discussion at IEDM, spurring debate about the future of CMOS, the role of III-V and 2D materials in future transistors, and what will be the next great memory architecture.[1] Industry veterans from the memory, logic, and research communities see high-NA EUV production, NAND flash with 1,000 layers, and hybrid bon... » read more

Modeling Analytics for Computational Storage
By Samsung - 16 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

This paper discusses the expected performance benefits of offloading some important basic database operations — namely Scan, Filter and Project — to computational storage. We evaluate the performance estimate model using TPC-DS workload and two database engines running on Hadoop clusters: SPARK- SQL and Presto. This paper is organized as follows: after covering previous computational sto... » read more

Chiplets Taking Root As Silicon-Proven Hard IP
By Ann Mutschler - 09 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

Chiplets are all the rage today, and for good reason. With the various ways to design a semiconductor-based system today, IP reuse via chiplets appears to be an effective and feasible solution, and a potentially low-cost alternative to shrinking everything to the latest process node. To enable faster time to market, common IP or technology that already has been silicon-proven can be utilized... » read more

Week In Review: Semiconductor Manufacturing, Test
By Karen Heyman - 03 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

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

Solving Problems With The IoT
By John Koon - 02 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

The Internet of Things, a term once applied to almost any "smart" gadget connected to the Internet, is becoming more useful, more complex, and more of a security risk as the value of data continues to grow and more people depend on IoT technology. In the decades since the concept was first introduced, IoT devices have become so ubiquitous that applications cover practically every consumer, c... » read more

Week In Review: Semiconductor Manufacturing, Test
By Karen Heyman - 27 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

Starting in 2025, SEMICON West will move to Phoenix for a five-year annual rotation. And in 2024, it will shift dates from July to October. This year’s conference will still take place July 11 to 13 at the Moscone Center. Phoenix will first host SEMICON West on October 7-9, 2025. Thereafter, it will be held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco on the alternating years and over the long term... » read more
