At the 2026 Chiplet Summit, Synopsys presented a bold vision for the future of semiconductor innovation: AI-driven multi-die design powered by agentic intelligence. As the semiconductor industry shifts rapidly toward chiplet-based architectures and 3D stacking, the complexity of design, verification, and system integration… Read More
High-speed digital (HSD) design is one of the more exciting areas in EDA right now, with design practices, tools, and workflows evolving to keep pace with increasing design complexity. With the annual Chiplet Summit and DesignCon festivities right around the corner, we sat down with Keysight’s Hee-Soo Lee, HSD Segment Lead, … Read More

Chiplets continue gaining momentum, fueled in large part by applications for AI and 5G/6G RFICs. Keysight has a strong presence at this year’s Chiplet Summit in Santa Clara, which includes Simon Rance in a super panel discussing “Chiplets: The Key to Solving the AI Energy Gap” and Nilesh Kamdar with a keynote… Read More
I spoke with Anna again at the Chiplet Summit this week, we had previously spoken at DAC 2023. MZ is short for Monozukuri which is a Japanese term that translates to “making things” or “manufacturing.” In a broader sense, it refers to the art, science, and craftsmanship of creating products which fit chiplets… Read More
Quite a few of the articles I now see about the semiconductor industry use AI. It is not hard to tell, especially for someone like myself, a 40 year experienced semiconductor professional who also writes. In the last 13 years (yes SemiWiki is now a teenager) we have published 9,058 blogs. SemiWiki was the first of now many semiconductor… Read More
We have been working with Keysight EDA for the past two years and it has been an honor. The technical depth we have reached with them is impressive. Niels Faché, VP & GM, Keysight EDA, is responsible for Keysight’s design and simulation portfolio. Niels has been part of the Keysight-Agilent-HP family since 1994 when HP acquired… Read More
The second annual Chiplet Summit is coming up and if it is anything like the first one it will not disappoint. Chiplets are a disruptive semiconductor technology that are already being used by the top semiconductor companies like Intel, Nvidia, AMD and others. These companies design their own chiplets so they are blazing the trail… Read More
The first annual Chiplet Summit was held last week in San Jose and I must say it exceeded my expectations, but I have some advice for the participating speakers and sponsoring companies. A good portion of the content was on WHY chiplets and not HOW. I think we have progressed passed this point and if we keep dwelling on it we will delay… Read More
