Semiconductor Hardware Security Assurance
by Daniel Nenni on 08-25-2025 at 12:53 pm

Semiconductor Hardware Security Assurance is the discipline and set of practices used to build justified confidence that an integrated circuit and its supporting hardware behave only as intended, resist realistic attacks, and can be trusted over their life cycle. It combines threat modeling, secure architecture, secure … Read More

XTCO (Cross-Technology Co-Optimization) is a holistic methodology that coordinates multiple layers of technology and design—devices, interconnect/BEOL, 3D integration & packaging, architecture, and system/software—to deliver target PPAC (performance, power, area, cost) plus reliability and time-to-market.… Read More

Chip-on-Wafer-on-PCB (CoWoPCB) is a heterogeneous integration flow in which bare dies (“chips”) are first assembled and interconnected at wafer scale (on an interposer or fan-out carrier). The completed wafer-level module is then finished with board-pitch I/O and mounted directly to a printed circuit board (PCB)—eliminating… Read More

Chip-on-Panel-on-Substrate (CoPoS) is an advanced packaging architecture that “panelizes” the classic chip-on-carrier flow. Instead of building redistribution and interposer structures on round wafers, CoPoS forms them on large rectangular panels, then mounts the finished module onto an organic or glass package substrate.… Read More

CFET (Complementary FET) Wiki
by Daniel Nenni on 08-24-2025 at 8:20 am

A Complementary FET (CFET) vertically stacks the n-FET and p-FET of a CMOS pair on top of each other (often as stacked nanosheets), collapsing the lateral n–p spacing in today’s standard cells. By “folding” CMOS into the vertical dimension, CFET targets major area and routing wins at future logic nodes while preserving strong … Read More
