By Nikhil Sharma, Sunghwan Son, Paul Mantey
The semiconductor industry faces an unprecedented crisis that threatens the very foundation of technological innovation. According to the latest Siemens EDA / Wilson Research Study, first-silicon success rates have plummeted to just 14%[1]—the lowest figure in more than twenty… Read More
A Tour of Advanced Data Conversion with Alphacore
There is always a lot of buzz about advanced AI workloads at trade shows. How to train them and how to run them. Advanced chip and multi-die designs are how AI is brought to life, so it was a perfect fit for discussion at a show. But there is another side of this discussion. Much of the work going on in AI workloads has to do with processing… Read More

Semiconductors Up Over 20% in 2025
The world semiconductor market was $208 billion in third-quarter 2025, according to WSTS. This marks the first time the market has been above $200 billion. 3Q 2025 was up 15.8% from 2Q 2025, the highest quarter-to-quarter growth since 19.9% in 2Q 2009. 3Q 2025 was up 25.1% from 3Q 2024, the highest growth versus a year earlier since… Read More
FPGA Prototyping in Practice: Addressing Peripheral Connectivity Challenges
Modern chip design verification often encounters challenges when connecting peripherals, primarily due to drastic differences in operating speed or hardware limitations. Designs running on hardware emulators or FPGA prototyping platforms typically operate at clock frequencies of tens of megahertz, and in some cases even… Read More
An Insight into Building Quantum Computers
Given my physics background I’m ashamed to admit I know very little about quantum computers (QC) though I’m now working to correct that defect. Like many of you I wanted to start with the basics: what are the components and systems in the physical implementation of a quantum “CPU” and how do they map to classical CPUs? I’m finding the… Read More
I Have Seen the Future with ChipAgents Autonomous Root Cause Analysis
I have seen a lot of EDA tool demos in my time. More than I want to admit. The perceived quality of the demo usually came down to a combination of the speed of the tool, quality of results and the ease of navigating through the graphical user interface. For the last item, how easy the interface was on the eyes, how clear were the relationships… Read More
