Intel’s historical dominance in semiconductor process technology began to erode around 2018, as competitors started delivering higher performance at smaller nodes. In response, Intel is now doubling down on innovation across two fronts: advanced process nodes such as Intel 18A and 14A, and cutting-edge packaging technologies.… Read More
Don Brooks is well known to many long time semiconductor insiders, like myself, but most SemiWiki readers have probably never heard of him. Don is a semiconductor legend and here is his story. This will be in two parts since he had a big impact on the semiconductor industry and TSMC. From 1991 to 1997 Don served as President of TSMC and… Read More
The semiconductor industry continues to drive innovation and constantly seeks methods to lower costs and improve performance. The advantages of custom I/O libraries versus free libraries can be seen as cost-savings or, more importantly, new markets, new customers, and new business
opportunities.
At DAC 2023, Certus Semiconductor… Read More
