Anyone who has read my articles about IEDM in the past know I consider it a premiere conference covering developments of leading-edge semiconductor process technology. The 2024 conference will take place in San Francisco from December 7th through 11th.
Some highlight of this year’s technical program are:
AI – Lots of artificial… Read More
Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) issues are critical to analyze, ensuring the proper operation of PCB systems and IC packages, yet the computational demands from EDA tools can cause engineers to only analyze what they deem are critical signals, instead of the entire system. Cadence has managed to overcome this SI/PI… Read More
You might think that in the sensing world all the action is in imaging and audio is a backwater. While imaging features continue to evolve, audio innovations may be accelerating even faster to serve multiple emerging demands: active noise cancellation, projecting a sound stage from multiple speakers, 3D audio and ambisonics,… Read More
As chip design complexity increases, integration scales expand and time-to-market pressures grow, as a result, design verification has become increasingly challenging. In multi-FPGA environments, the complexity of design debugging and verification further escalates, making it difficult for traditional debugging methods… Read More
The TSMC Open Innovation Platform (OIP) Ecosystem Forum has become the industry benchmark when it comes to showcasing industry-wide collaboration. The extreme design, integration and packaging demands presented by multi-die, chiplet-based design have raised the bar in terms of required collaboration across the entire … Read More

Improve productivity by shifting left LVS
In modern semiconductor design, technology nodes continue to shrink and the complexity and size of circuits increase, making layout versus schematic (LVS) verification more challenging. One of the most critical errors designers encounter during LVS runs are shorted nets. Identifying… Read More
We‘re all aware of the challenges aging brings. I find the older I get, the more in touch I feel with those challenges. I still find it to be true that aging beats the alternative. I think most would agree. Human factors aside, I’d like to discuss the aging process as applied to the realm of semiconductor device physics. Here, as with… Read More
