SemiWiki SEMICON West Inline Time Between

The semiconductor industry crossed $1 trillion in annual revenue this year, almost four years ahead of earlier projections. SEMI President and CEO Ajit Manocha opened the CEO Summit at SEMICON West with a chart that told the story. A year ago, the forecast for 2030 was $1 trillion. Now it is $2 trillion, with $3 trillion possible … Read More

Global Semiconductor Market 2026

Champagne is an unusual opening act for a semiconductor conference. At SEMICON West 2026, October 13 to 15, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, it served a purpose. The toast marked an industry that has already crossed $1 trillion in annual revenue, almost four years ahead of earlier projections.

Smarter EDA Queues with Stratos AI

Expensive EDA licenses should keep chip design moving. Yet when license activity and job queues live in separate systems, teams can struggle to understand why work is waiting, which tools are underused, and whether additional spending will solve the problem. Idle seats, checkout failures, and stalled jobs can consume budgets… Read More

AI fuels 2026 electronics production boom

Growth in electronics production has been accelerating in 2026. Three-month-average change versus a year ago for electronics production in the U.S. was 8.1% in August 2026, continuing an accelerating growth trend since October 2025. Japan and the 27 countries of the European Union (EU 27) showed much stronger growth acceleration.… Read More

Silicon Catalyst Forum Nov 2026 IIII

By Richard Curtin

Ever since the Silicon Catalyst 2023 Semiconductor Industry Forum (“Welcome to our AI Wonderland”) I’ve been convinced that the Nobel Prize committee needs to consider awarding a posthumous award to Sir Arthur.

To remind you, Sir Arthur’s “2001: A Space Odyssey” movie was released in 1968. At that point in time… Read More

Writing the Score SemiWiki

Score: the written music for an orchestra, with every section’s part laid out on the same page so they play together. In this article, it’s your designed workflows.

Is AI helping you hit your tape-out date, or putting it at risk? How would you know?

Every Director I talk to is being asked to use AI to deliver faster, or better,… Read More

A Migration Feasibility Study Can Turn an Uncertain Re Design into a Measurable Engineering Project

Moving semiconductor IP to a new process technology is often treated as a redesign problem. For analog and mixed-signal designs, however, starting again from the schematic can overlook an asset: the engineering knowledge embedded in the existing physical layout.

Device sizing, matching, symmetry, routing, shielding, placement,… Read More
