Millions of dollars wasted. Lost competitive advantage. Idle manufacturing lines and customer frustrations. These are the all-too-common consequences of semiconductor failures. In today's economy, competent failure analysts are vital to solve …
If you are working on complex Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Machine Learning (ML) or Deep Learning (DL) designs using advanced node processes, you will understand the motivations for optimising CPU …
Designing complex, mixed-signal IPs is extremely challenging. Traditionally, timing is verified using measurements extracted from dynamic simulations. However, as this is vector-dependent, it relies heavily on designer expertise to select …
The explosion of AI and pervasive intelligence has created an exponential demand for increasing compute power, best addressed using GPUs (Graphics Processing Unit) and FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays). This …
Integrated Circuit packaging has always been integral to IC performance and functionality. An IC package serves many purposes: (1) pitch conversion between the fine features of the IC die and …
RESCHEDULED From here, anywhere Red Hat Summit 2020 Virtual Experience April 28-29 Immerse yourself in our free virtual event and find your inspiration at the intersection of choice and potential. Register …
High performance power transistors are used in power management ICs, where switching behavior is extremely important. However, due to their large distributed gate and active area structure, accurately simulating switching …
April 28, 2020 11 AM EDT / 3 PM GMT Venue: Online In recent years, materials have emerged as a focus of architectural pedagogy. Beyond teaching students to think of …
Semiconductor and integrated circuit developments continue to proceed at an incredible pace. For example, today’s microprocessor chips have one thousand times the processing power of those a decade ago. These …
The concept of edge computing—putting low power servers close to the application instead of relying solely on “the cloud”--may not be a novel idea, but for 5G and the Internet …
Today people make chips with 10 billion transistors and no-one thinks anything of it. But there was a day (Or more correctly a decade) when we couldn’t make even one …
Overview Electromigration (EM) has a major impact on IC reliability and lifespan. Long a concern for automotive, aerospace, and healthcare, EM is now a challenge for the entire microelectronics industry …
