High-entropy multielement ink semiconductors Researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and UC Berkeley developed a high-entropy semiconducting material called ‘multielement ink’ that can be processed at low-temperature or room temperature. “The traditional way of making semiconductor devices is energy-intensive and one of the major sources of carbon emissions,” said Pei... » read more

Chip Industry Talent Shortage Drives Academic Partnerships
By Liz Allan - 16 Oct, 2023 - Comments: 0

Universities around the world are forming partnerships with semiconductor companies and governments to help fill open and future positions, to keep curricula current and relevant, and to update and expand skills for working engineers. Talent shortages repeatedly have been cited as the number one challenge for the chip industry. Behind those concerns are several key drivers, and many more dom... » read more

RISC-V Wants All Your Cores
By Brian Bailey - 12 Oct, 2023 - Comments: 0

RISC-V is no longer content to disrupt the CPU industry. It is waging war against every type of processor integrated into an SoC or advanced package, an ambitious plan that will face stiff competition from entrenched players with deep-pocketed R&D operations and their well-constructed ecosystems. When Calista Redmond, CEO for RISC-V International, said at last year's summit that RISC-V w... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced $15.5 billion in funding and loans for retooling existing automotive factories for the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) and supporting local jobs, plus a notice of intent for $3.5 billion in funding to expand domestic manufacturing of batteries for EVs and the nation’s grid, and for battery materials and components that are currently imported... » read more

DAC/Semicon West Addresses Top Issues, Trends For Chips
By The SE Staff - 12 Jul, 2023 - Comments: 0

The Design Automation Conference (DAC) 2023 and Semicon West returned in full force this week, drawing in more attendees and sponsor companies than since before the pandemic. At times, booth traffic was four to five deep, blocking aisles, and standing room only was common at presentations. Hot topics included generative AI and the underlying semiconductor technology, data security, reliabili... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Jesse Allen - 23 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

AMD plans to spend $135 million in Ireland over four years to boost its adaptive computing segment, formerly Xilinx. The investment will fund R&D projects for next generation AI, data center, networking, and 6G communications infrastructure. The company will also add up to 290 engineering and research positions. Argonne National Laboratory installed the final blade of its Aurora supercom... » read more

Chip Industry’s Technical Paper Roundup: May 23
By Linda Christensen - 23 May, 2023 - Comments: 0

New technical papers recently added to Semiconductor Engineering’s library: [table id=104 /] If you have research papers you are trying to promote, we will review them to see if they are a good fit for our global audience. At a minimum, papers need to be well researched and documented, relevant to the semiconductor ecosystem, and free of marketing bias. There is no cost involved for us... » read more
