TSMC Unveils the World’s Most Advanced Logic Technology at IEDM

There was a lot of discussion at IEDM about the coming shift to gate-all-around (GAA) transistor structures. This new device brings many benefits to continue device scaling, both at the monolithic device level as well as for multi-die design. The path to GAA is not simple, there are new material, process and design considerations… Read More

A response to Daniel Nenni’s “What’s Wrong with Intel?” article, which invited alternative views.

At the risk of calling down the forecast universal opprobrium, I’m going to disagree with Dan’s take on the centrality of Intel.

I don’t agree that Intel is too big/important to fail or that the US can’t succeed in semiconductors without… Read More

An Invited Talk at IDEM Intel’s Mr. Transistor Presents The Incredible Shrinking Transistor – Shattering Perceived Barriers and Forging Ahead

IEDM turned 70 last week. This was cause for much celebration in the form of special events. One such event was a special invited paper on Tuesday afternoon from Intel’s Tahir Ghani, or Mr. Transistor as he is known. Tahir has been driving innovation at Intel for a very long time. He is an eyewitness to the incredible impact of the Moore’s… Read More

Intel Inside

One of the most popular topics on the SemiWiki forum is Intel, which I understand. Many of us grew up with Intel, some of us have worked there, and I can say that the vast majority of us want Intel to succeed. The latest Intel PR debacle is the abrupt departure of CEO Pat Gelsinger. To me this confirms the answer to the question, “What is … Read More

Soitec Substrate Vision Summit

WIth packaging being one of the top sources of traffic on SemiWiki, I am expecting a big crowd at this event. A semiconductor substrate is a foundational material used in the fabrication of semiconductor devices. Substrates are a critical part of the manufacturing process and directly affect the performance, reliability, and… Read More
