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

Arm has been making noise about running large language models (LLMs) on mobile platforms. At first glance that sounds wildly impractical, other than Arm acting as an intermediary between a phone and a cloud-based LLM. However Arm are partnered with Meta to run Llama 3.2 on-device or in the cloud, apparently seamlessly. Running… Read More
The outsourcing fabrication of ICs makes them vulnerable to hardware security threats. Security threats such as reverse engineering, insertion of hardware Trojan, and backside contact-less probing to steal cryptographic information can cause financial loss to IP owners and security risk to the system in which these ICs are… Read More
The semiconductor industry is experiencing rapid evolution, driven by the proliferation of IoT applications, image sensors, photonics, MEMS applications, 3DIC and other emerging technologies. This growth has dramatically increased the complexity of integrated circuit (IC) design. One aspect of this complexity is the … Read More
The ASIC business has always been a key enabler of the semiconductor industry but it is a difficult business. In my 40 years I have seen many ASIC companies come and go but I have never seen one like Alchip.
Alchip Technologies Ltd. was founded more than 20 years ago, about half way through my career. I know one of the founders, a fiercely… Read More
You could be forgiven for thinking of hearing aids as the low end of tech, targeted to a relatively small and elderly audience. Commercials seem unaware of advances in mobile consumer audio, and white-haired actors reinforce the intended audience. On the other hand, the World Health Organization has determined that at least 6%… Read More
