WEBINAR: Maximizing Exit Valuations for Technology Companies

WEBINAR: Maximizing Exit Valuations for Technology Companies
by Daniel Nenni on 07-21-2021 at 10:00 am

Silicon Catalyst Exit Webinar

I had the opportunity to speak with Pete Rodriguez and Alain Labat in regards to the upcoming webinar on M&A. I have worked with both Pete and Alain in the past so I can tell you personally that this event will be well worth your time. This is truly an all star cast with a collective experience base with billions of dollars worth of … Read More


EDA Flows for 3D Die Integration

EDA Flows for 3D Die Integration
by Tom Dillinger on 07-20-2021 at 6:00 am

future integration

Background

The emergence of 2.5D heterogeneous die integration using a silicon (or organic) interposer has enabled unique system architectures.  The term “More than Moore” has been used to describe the circuit density and cost advantages of leveraging multiple die in the package, the die potentially in different process technologies. … Read More


How can Semiconductor Manufacturers add new Capacity to Meet Demand as Quickly as Possible?

How can Semiconductor Manufacturers add new Capacity to Meet Demand as Quickly as Possible?
by Daniel Nenni on 07-19-2021 at 10:00 am

Aston Webinar

The causes of the chip shortage crisis have been widely discussed, but what about specific solutions? How can semiconductor manufacturers add new capacity to meet demand as quickly as possible?

While there is a lot of talk about investment in building new chip plants, these traditional methods of manufacturing capacity growth… Read More


VLSI Technology Symposium – Imec Alternate 3D NAND Word Line Materials

VLSI Technology Symposium – Imec Alternate 3D NAND Word Line Materials

mobility differences 3

The annual VLSI Symposium provides unique insights into R&D innovations in both circuits and technology.  Indeed, the papers presented are divided into two main tracks – Circuits and Technology.  In addition, the symposium offers workshops, forums, and short courses, providing a breadth of additional information.

At… Read More


VLSI Technology Symposium – Imec Forksheet

VLSI Technology Symposium – Imec Forksheet
by Scotten Jones on 07-06-2021 at 6:00 am

VLSI2021 T2 1 Mertens v2 Page 05

FinFETs devices are reaching their limits for scaling. Horizontal Nanosheets (HNS) are a type of Gate All Around (GAA) device that offers better scaling and performance per unit area. HNS is the logical next step from FinFETs because HNS processing is similar to FinFETs with a limited number of process changes required.

At the … Read More

Meetup panel min 1

At Veriest we host VERIFICATION MEETUPS periodically to share verification wisdom. In our virtual meetings we’ve had hundreds of attendants from the US, Europe, Israel, India, and China. Most recently we were able to host a live event in Israel – I want to share feedback from that meeting.

We started with two presentations:… Read More

Figure 1

At the 2021 Symposium on VLSI Technology and Circuits in June a short course was held on “Advanced Process and Devices Technology Toward 2nm-CMOS and Emerging Memory”. In this article I will review the first two presentations covering leading edge logic devices. The two presentations are complementary and provide and excellent… Read More


Resist Development for High-NA EUV

Resist Development for High-NA EUV
by Tom Dillinger on 07-01-2021 at 10:00 am

EUV scaling

The successful transition to a new fabrication process from development to high volume manufacturing requires a collective, collaborative effort among process engineers, equipment manufacturers, and especially, chemical suppliers.  Of particular importance is the chemistry of the photoresist materials and their interaction… Read More

QEMU min

Several years ago I recall upgrading my aging MacBook Pro laptop from using a Hard Disk Drive (HDD) to a Solid State Drive (SSD) that used Non-Volatile Memory (NVM). Oh what a speed improvement when pushing that On button each morning to start the work day, or clicking an App to see it launch without delay. Another epiphany for me in … Read More
