What happens when you use DRAM at extremely low temperatures?
Rambus Chief Scientist Craig Hampel talks with Semiconductor Engineering about quantum computing and the power/performance benefits of running DRAM at extremely low temperatures.
New architectures, packaging approaches gain ground as costs increase, but shrinking features continues to play a role.
Four industry experts talk about what’s changing, how quickly, and where the limits are with AI.
Work begins on building a quantum computing ecosystem.
2019 will be a year of change for the semiconductor industry as new fields drive technological advancements.
Semiconductor devices face many hazards before and after manufacturing that can cause them to fail prematurely.
Interest in the open-source ISA marks a significant shift among chipmakers, but it will require continued industry support to be successful.
Chips will cost more to design and manufacture even without pushing to the latest node, but that’s not the whole story.
This will go down as a good year for the semiconductor industry, where new markets and innovation were both necessary and rewarded.
Slowdown due to impact on timing, and dependencies between power, thermal and timing that may not be caught by signoff tools.
Experts at the Table, Part 1: Impact on the supply chain, who’s using advanced packaging, and the cost of packaging versus device scaling.
Access to source code makes it attractive for custom applications, but gaps remain in the tool flow and in software.
Technology adds more granularity, but starting point for design shifts as architectures cope with greater volumes of data.

Big thank you for this interview, Ed. When I first heard about this, I found it counter-intuitive. Surely electrons would slow down. How could it work? Loved the interview and your questions. Very “cool” stuff in more ways than K.
