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
Most MEMS and sensor companies struggle to find an industrialization partner that can support early-stage research and help develop and transition unique concepts to high-volume production. The wrong partner means delays and increased development costs as the design moves between various facilities. Recently, Silicon … Read More
J Provine, PhD, is the CEO and co-founder of Aligned Carbon, a startup that has developed a breakthrough synthesis and purification technology for aligned, semiconducting carbon nanotubes (CNTs) at wafer scale. His team believes that Aligned Carbon is the crucial missing piece in an industry that has long been hopeful of –… Read More
Many types of designs, including analog designs, MEMs, and image sensors, require electrically matched configurations. This symmetry has a huge impact on the robustness of the design across process variations, and its performance. Having an electrically matched layout basically means having a symmetric layout. To check … Read More
In 1991, I arrived in Glasgow to become a lecturer in Glasgow University, attracted by the Silicon Glen – the heart of semiconductor manufacturing in Europe. Here are few facts:
A little over a month ago, I wrote about the substantial support that Silicon Catalyst and Arm were providing for chip startups. There have been many incubators for technology companies over the years. These organizations typically provide office space, some basic infrastructure, advisory help and sometimes access to seed … Read More
