I have written before about an inter-chiplet communication challenge to realizing the dream of multi-die designs built around open-market chiplets. Still a worthy dream but it’s going to take a journey to get there. Arm recently donated their Foundation Chiplet System Architecture (FCSA) to the Open Compute Project (OCP) as… Read More

IP-XACT, defined by IEEE 1685, is a standard that pulls together IP packaging, integration, and reuse. For anyone building modern SoCs (Systems on Chip), IP-XACT isn’t just another XML schema: it is a productivity multiplier and a risk-reduction tool that brings order to your electronic system design.
What is IP-XACT?
IP-XACT… Read More
Revolution EDA: A New EDA Mindset for a New Era
Murat Eskiyerli, PhD, is the founder of Revolution EDA
Modern software development environments have evolved dramatically. A developer can download Visual Studio Code, install a few plugins, and be productive within minutes. The cost? Perhaps a few hundred dollars per month for cloud development resources. Compare that to… Read More
Self-Aligned Spacer Patterning for Minimum Pitch Metal in DRAM
The patterning of features outside a DRAM cell array can be just as challenging as those within the array itself [1]. The array contains features which are densely packed, but regularly arranged. On the other hand, outside the array, the minimum pitch features, such as the lowest metal lines in the periphery for the sense amplifier… Read More

Hierarchically defining bump and pin regions overcomes 3D IC complexity
By Todd Burkholder and Per Viklund, Siemens EDA
The landscape of advanced IC packaging is rapidly evolving, driven by the imperative to support innovation on increasingly complex and high-capacity products. The broad industry trend toward heterogeneous integration of diverse die and chiplets into advanced semiconductor… Read More
CDC Verification for Safety-Critical Designs – What You Need to Know
Verification is always a top priority for any chip project. Re-spins result in lost time-to-market and significant cost overruns. Chip bugs that make it to the field present another level of lost revenue, lost brand confidence and potential costly litigation. If the design is part of the avionics or control for an aircraft, the… Read More
