Article 1 figure 1 (1)

In the quest to secure the authenticity and ownership of advanced integrated circuit (IC) packages, a novel approach has been introduced in this paper that capitalizes on the inherent physical discrepancies within these components. This method, distinct from traditional strategies like physical unclonable functions (PUFs)… Read More

How to Update Your FPGA Devices with Questa

It’s a fact of life that technology marches on. Older process nodes get replaced by newer ones. As a result, ASSPs and FPGAs are obsoleted, leaving behind large system design investments that need to re-done. Since many of these obsolete designs are performing well in the target application, this re-do task can be particularly … Read More

Mixed-signal and analog design are key aspects of modern electronics. Every chip incorporates some form of analog IP, as even digital logic is dependent on analog signals for critical functions. Many digital design engineers are known to be uncomfortable with the prospect of integrating analog components. However, the current… Read More

Happy Lamb
  • Lam put in good quarter with flattish guide- still a slow recovery
  • This is better than worst case fears of order drop like ASML
  • China spend is slowing but tech spending increase offsets
  • Relief rally as the market was braced for bad news and got OK news
Lam has OK, slightly better than in line quarter with OK guide….

It coulda been… Read More

cover 2

A friend of SemiWiki published an article on Moore’s Law in IEEE that I think is worth reading:

IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, Vol. 41, Issue 4.

The topic of Moore’s Law is of paramount importance, reaching almost the entire field of electronics (and the semiconductor industry). In the course of six decades, for the first… Read More

AI Semiconductor Market 2024

AI (artificial intelligence) is widely cited as a growth driver for the technology industry, including semiconductors. While AI is in its early stages, opinions vary on whether it will become common in the next few years. A McKinsey study from May 2024 showed 72% of organizations have adopted AI in at least one business function.… Read More
