Two approaches compared
With half-pitch approaching 10 nm, EUV patterning is heavily impacted by stochastic effects, which are aggravated from reduced image contrast from electron blur [1]. A two-mask (“LELE”: Litho-Etch-Litho-Etch) approach was proposed to pattern core features for self-aligned double patterning (SADP)… Read More

When Semidynamics added support for int4 and fp8 data types to their RISC-V processors, it clearly indicated their intent to target AI inference with hundreds or perhaps thousands of concurrent threads running in their advanced caching and pipelining scheme. Two recent announcements around Embedded World 2025 reinforce their… Read More
Great news last week as Intel fills the CEO slot for the 9th time in 56 years with industry legend Lip-Bu Tan. From what I hear, Intel employees, and the entire industry for that matter, are overjoyed. I’m sure there are one or two competing companies that are concerned but overall it is an absolute love fest.
If you look at education… Read More
