Electronic Design Automation, or EDA, is the software infrastructure that transforms a hardware specification into a manufacturable integrated circuit. At advanced process nodes, the problem is no longer simply drawing transistors or connecting gates. A modern system-on-chip contains billions of standard cells, hundreds… Read More
What systems can accomplish by combining semiconductors, AI, and software seems at times boundless. Chiplet-based semiconductors deliver this promise, allowing a myriad of complex digital, memory, analog and photonic functions to be condensed into a single semiconductor package for higher performance, lower power consumption… Read More
Synopsys has announced the availability of the first wave of its Multiphysics Fusion Solutions, extending its vision of a unified engineering environment that connects EDA, semiconductor physics, system simulation, and artificial intelligence-driven optimization. The announcement addresses one of the most significant… Read More
For years, advanced packaging has been described mostly in planar terms: chiplets placed side by side, connected through interposers, bridges, redistribution layers, substrates, and short-reach electrical links. This view remains important. It supports today’s GPU, HBM, chiplet, and 2.5D integration architectures.… Read More
The explosive growth of artificial intelligence is transforming the semiconductor industry, and nowhere is this more evident than in the memory sector. AI training and inference workloads are fundamentally memory-intensive, driving unprecedented demand for advanced DRAM architectures, High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), and… Read More
As semiconductor designs continue to grow in complexity, FPGA prototyping has become an essential component of modern pre-silicon validation strategies. While FPGA capacity and gate-count equivalence often dominate discussions around prototyping platforms, the true value of an FPGA prototype lies elsewhere: its ability… Read More
At the recent TSMC Technology Symposium 2026, Siemens EDA reinforced its position as one of the key ecosystem partners supporting TSMC in the race toward AI-driven semiconductor design, advanced packaging, and next-generation process technologies. The annual forum has become one of the semiconductor industry’s most important… Read More
imec announced that IC-Link by imec has joined the TSMC 3DFabric Alliance, a strategically important move that reflects the semiconductor industry’s transition from traditional monolithic scaling toward heterogeneous integration, chiplet architectures, and advanced packaging-driven system optimization. The partnership… Read More
Artificial intelligence processors are entering a new era. For more than two decades, semiconductor innovation was driven primarily by transistor scaling and process node shrinks. Today, however, AI infrastructure demands are growing faster than traditional Moore’s Law improvements can sustain. The industry is now shifting… Read More
