Simulation-Based Fault Analysis for Resilient System-On-Chip Design
By Technical Paper Link - 12 Nov, 2021 - Comments: 0

Abstract: "Enhancing the reliability of the system is important for recent system-on-chip (SoC) designs. This importance has led to studies on fault diagnosis and tolerance. Fault-injection (FI) techniques are widely used to measure the fault-tolerance capabilities of resilient systems. FI techniques suffer from limitations in relation to environmental conditions and system features. Moreover,... » read more

A New Multi-Stimuli-Based Simulation Method for ESD Design Verification
By Technical Paper Link - 12 Nov, 2021 - Comments: 0

Abstract: "This paper analyzes TCAD ESD simulation for both HBM zapping using real-world HBM ESD waveforms as stimuli and TLP testing using square wave TLP pulse trains as stimuli. It concludes that TCAD ESD simulation using either HBM waveforms or TLP pulse trains, alone, is insufficient. We introduce a new mixed-mode simulation flow using combined HBM and TLP stimuli to achieve ESD design pr... » read more

Debugging Embedded Applications
By Ann Mutschler - 10 Nov, 2021 - Comments: 0

Debugging embedded designs is becoming increasingly difficult as the number of observed and possible interactions between hardware and software continue to grow, and as more features are crammed into chips, packages, and systems. But there also appear to be some advances on this front, involving a mix of techniques, including hardware trace, scan chain-based debug, along with better simulation ... » read more

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

Materials and Device Simulations for Silicon Qubit Design and Optimization
By Technical Paper Link - 27 Oct, 2021 - Comments: 0

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
