Research on Wire Sweep of Integrated Circuit Packaging Based on Three-dimensional Flow Simulation
By Technical Paper Link - 31 Oct, 2021 - Comments: 0

Abstract: "Semiconductor manufacturing technology is becoming more and more rapidly. In the process of Integrated Circuit (IC) encapsulation, when wires contact each other, it will cause short circuit. Wire sweep has become the main factor affecting the reliability of the product. Therefore, it is a great challenge to master wire sweep in IC packaging process. This paper takes Low Profile Fi... » read more

What’s Next For Emulation
By Brian Bailey - 28 Oct, 2021 - Comments: 1

Emulation is now the cornerstone of verification for advanced chip designs, but how emulation will evolve to meet future demands involving increasingly dense, complex, and heterogeneous architectures isn't entirely clear. EDA companies have been investing heavily in emulation, increasing capacity, boosting performance, and adding new capabilities. Now the big question is how else they can le... » read more

Abstract: "Silicon-based microelectronics technology is extremely mature, yet this profoundly important material is now also poised to become a foundation for quantum information processing technologies. In this article, we review the properties of silicon that have made it the material of choice for semiconductor-based qubits with an emphasis on the role that modeling and simulation have play... » read more

Making Batteries Denser And Safer
By Ann Mutschler - 07 Oct, 2021 - Comments: 0

Battery technology is improving swiftly, driven by the rapidly rising demand for electric vehicles and the vast body of knowledge developed by the semiconductor industry. The market for electric vehicles (EVs) is on a fast upward trajectory, with global sales predicted to grow more than 12 times to more than 31 million vehicles. In fact, EVs will account for almost a third of new vehicle sal... » read more

Reliable And Efficient Compact Models For Scalable MTJ Simulation
By Fernando Garcia Redondo - 09 Sep, 2021 - Comments: 0

By Fernando García Redondo, Pranay Prabhat, and Mudit Bhargava Since its discovery in 1975, Tunnel-Magneto-Resistance (TMR) has been actively investigated. From the 2000s, advances in process technologies have made the miniaturization of Magnetic Random Access Memories (MRAMs) based on TMR devices possible, together with integration into traditional CMOS processes. Introducing magneti... » read more

Physics-Based Sensor Validation Via Ansys: Driving New Automotive Innovations
By Ansys - 13 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

Autonomous driving is revolutionizing the global automotive industry. With every new model, cars are smarter and more capable of independently responding to external signals like lane markings, highway signs, other cars and pedestrians. However, formulating a correct response via artificial intelligence depends on flawless sensor performance. With so many sensors supporting the advanced driv... » read more

10X Higher Productivity With VCS Dynamic Test Loading
By Synopsys - 11 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

The verification of a system-on-chip (SoC) is becoming increasingly complex, due to the multitude of functionality being implemented on a single chip. Different verification techniques are required at each level (IP, block, SoC and system) for faster verification closure. A successful verification strategy requires reuse of functional tests, faster test development and faster debug to improve t... » read more
