Chip Industry’s Technical Paper Roundup: Jan 3


New technical papers added to Semiconductor Engineering’s library this week. [table id=72 /] 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

Research Bits: Jan. 3


Printing electronics on curved surfaces Researchers from North Carolina State University have demonstrated a new technique for directly printing electronic circuits onto curved and corrugated surfaces. They have used the technique to create prototype “smart” contact lenses, pressure-sensitive latex gloves, and transparent electrodes. “There are many existing techniques for creating pr... » read more

Hardware Accelerator For Fully Homomorphic Encryption


A technical paper titled "CraterLake: A Hardware Accelerator for Efficient Unbounded Computation on Encrypted Data" was published by researchers at MIT, IBM TJ Watson, SRI International, and University of Michigan. "We present CraterLake, the first FHE accelerator that enables FHE programs of unbounded size (i.e., unbounded multiplicative depth). Such computations require very large cipherte... » read more

Hardware Fuzzing (U. of Michigan, Google, Virginia Tech)


A technical paper titled "Fuzzing Hardware Like Software" was published by researchers at University of Michigan, Google and Virginia Tech. The paper was presented at the 2022 Usenix Security Symposium. Abstract: "Hardware flaws are permanent and potent: hardware cannot be patched once fabricated, and any flaws may undermine even formally verified software executing on top. Consequently, ve... » read more
