As we all know, the age of multi-die design has arrived. And along with it many new design challenges. There is a lot of material discussing the obstacles to achieve more mainstream access to this design architecture, and some good strategies to conquer those obstacles. Synopsys recently published a webinar that took this discussion… Read More



CoPoS is a Bigger Canvas for Chiplets and HBM
Is a Semiconductor Equipment Pause Coming?
– Lam put up good numbers but H2 outlook was flat with unknown 2026
– China remains high & exposed at 35% of biz while US is a measly 6%
– Unclear if this is peak, pause, digestion, technology or normal cycle
– Coupled with ASML soft outlook & stock run ups means profit taking
Nice quarter but expected
