PKG PDK MISSION CPO JUne26

From Photonic Device Design to Electro-Optical Realization

Co-packaged optics will not scale through photonic device performance alone.

As AI infrastructure pushes bandwidth, power, latency, and reach to new limits, optics is moving closer to the compute engine. The industry is no longer asking only whether a photonic device… Read More

ParagonX flow

IC layout parasitics dominate the performance of custom digital, analog and mixed-signal designs, so the challenge becomes how to identify the root causes and to quantify the effects of parasitics during early design stages. The old method of iterating between layout, extraction, SPICE simulation, followed by manual debug… Read More

Silicon Creations is Fueling Next Generation Chips

Next generation semiconductor design puts new stress on traditionally low-key parts of the design process. One example is packaging, which used to be the clean-up spot at the end of the design. Thanks to chiplet-based design, package engineers are now rock stars. Analog design is another one of those disciplines.

Not long ago,… Read More

PCB designers can perform pre-route simulations, follow layout and routing rules, hope for the best from their prototype fab, and yet design errors cause respins which delays the project schedule. Just because post-route analysis is time consuming doesn’t mean that it should be avoided. Serial links are found in many PCB designs,… Read More
