In the competitive vertical of mobile System-on-Chip development, SRAM plays a pivotal role, occupying nearly 40% of chip area and directly impacting yield and performance. The presentation “Accelerating SRAM Design Cycles With Additive AI Technology,” co-delivered by Mohamed Atoua of Siemens EDA and Deepesh… Read More
The big semiconductor news this week is the legal action TSMC is taking against former Senior Vice President Wei-Jen Lo. This looks to be a serious game of 3D chess between CC Wei and Lip-Bu Tan so it is worth a look. I got this notice in my inbox early Tuesday morning:
Immediately following, there was an interesting discussion on SemiWiki… Read More
In the lush landscapes of Kumamoto Prefecture, on Japan’s Kyushu Island, TSMC is etching a new chapter in global chip production. The TSMC Kumamoto facility, operationalized through its wholly-owned subsidiary Japan Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing (JASM), represents the Taiwanese giant’s bold foray… Read More
Make a difference and take this short survey. It asks about your experience with embedded non-volatile memory technologies. The survey is anonymous, and the results will be shared in aggregate to help the industry better understand trends: 2025 Embedded Non-Volatile Memory Survey.
We are now in the AI era where data is the lifeblood… Read More
The second chapter of our book “Fabless: The Transformation of Semiconductor Industry” describes the ASIC business and how important it is. That was more than 10 years ago and the ASIC business is still at the forefront of the Semiconductor industry and is a key enabler of the AI revolution we are experiencing today.
First let’s … Read More
The semiconductor industry is undergoing a transformative shift with the integration of AI into DRC workflows, as showcased in the Siemens EDA presentation at the 2025 TSMC OIP. Titled “AI-Driven DRC Productivity Optimization,” this initiative, led by Siemens EDA’s David Abercrombie alongside AMD’s… Read More
The paper highlights how Fully Depleted Silicon-On-Insulator (FD-SOI) technology provides a robust defense against Laser Fault Injection (LFI), a precise, laboratory-grade attack method that can compromise cryptographic and safety-critical hardware. As vehicles become increasingly digital and connected, with dozens… Read More
