Its getting more and more doubtful. Well at least from the macroeconomic perspective.
The inflation is at a four decade high at 9.1.
The Feds have increased the interest rates and might increase them again.
One of the prime reasons cited for the high...
Dear Engineers,
I am curious to the MDP flow that leads to the Mask set once we throw the GDSII over the fence and party over yet another successful tape out and provide DRC waivers to the fab.
Any pointers to docs on EDA tools and how they stitch together in a flow. Over the years seen a lot...
Over the years we keep hearing180nm is obsolete and then when you look at the foundries they still have the 180nm node on their charts. TSMC's webpage still mentions a sizable percentage of wafer starts in 180nm. A quick internet search shows its good for cheaper applications like IoT...
In countries without fabs: Many fabless companies and policy makers to support these fabless companies are wary of sending their tape outs to fabs in foreign countries.
There's a scare that these chips would come with trojans and back doors. And this Huawei tussle is not helping this argument...
Internet of Things brings up an interesting dilemma for semiconductor companies. While semiconductor companies make revenue with high volume custom chips (i.e. ASICs & SoCs), the IoT market is too fragmented and diverseto create those high volumes. Nevertheless, analysts continue to predict...
