By Susan Rambo, Gregory Haley, and Liz Allan SRC unfurled its Microelectronics and Advanced Packaging (MAPT) industry-wide 3D semiconductor roadmap, addressing such topics as advanced packaging, heterogeneous integration, analog and mixed-signal semiconductors, energy efficiency, security, the related foundational ecosystem, and more. The guidance is the collective effort of 300 individuals ... » read more

GNN-Based Pre-Silicon Power Side-Channel Analysis Framework At RTL Level


A technical paper titled “SCAR: Power Side-Channel Analysis at RTL-Level” was published by researchers at University of Texas at Dallas, Technology Innovation Institute and University of Illinois Chicago. Abstract: "Power side-channel attacks exploit the dynamic power consumption of cryptographic operations to leak sensitive information of encryption hardware. Therefore, it is necessary t... » read more

Four Vertical Power Delivery Architectures For Emerging Packaging and Integration Platforms (UIC)


A technical paper titled “Vertical Power Delivery for Emerging Packaging and Integration Platforms – Power Conversion and Distribution” was published by researchers at University of Illinois Chicago. Abstract: "Efficient delivery of current from PCB to point-of-load (POL) is a primary concern in modern high-power high-density integrated systems. Traditionally, a 48 V power signal is con... » read more

Week In Review: Automotive, Security, Pervasive Computing


Stellantis and Foxconn formed a 50/50 joint venture called SiliconAuto, to be headquartered in the Netherlands. The goal is to close the gap between supply and demand for chips used in computer-controlled features and modules, especially for electric vehicles (EVs). The U.S. Department of Justice created a National Security Cyber Section within its National Security Division to increase the ... » read more
