With the continued, explosive demand for AI-specific chips, the semiconductor industry is being faced with increasingly high expectations and challenges. It’s also speeding up design cycles across the board.
IEDM Researchers Tout Energy Efficiency
The industry has “an insatiable appetite” for high performance.
Bringing AI to Optical Inspection: Using Deep Learning to Solve High-Value Problems in Advanced Node Manufacturing
Novel Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence detection and filtering algorithms are rapidly adopted by advanced node manufacturers to address the ever-increasing challenge of separating yield-killing and nuisance defects.
Building Fabs in the U.S. vs Taiwan: Twice as Long, Twice as Much
Construction costs in the U.S., compared to Taiwan, are about twice as much (the process equipment costs are similar). “Building a wafer fab in the west costs twice as much and takes twice the time of building it in Taiwan,” Exyte’s Blaschitz said at SEMI’s ISS.
The High Tech Used to Upskill a High-Tech Workforce
The semiconductor industry is just one example of many industries that stand to benefit from implementing simulation, virtual twin technology into training practices – but it is currently of the most need for change.
Simplifying Technical Documentation for Embedded Systems
By treating documentation generation as a compilation problem and leveraging the power of LLMs within a structured framework, a system can be created to handle the scale and complexity of modern codebases while producing high-quality, consistent, and maintainable documentation.
Leveraging Agile Practices in Chip Design for Enhanced Compliance and Reliability
Implementing practices inspired by Agile way or working into chip design processes offers substantial benefits in enhancing compliance and reliability.
How LTE-M Outperforms Other Technologies in Asset Tracking
The choice of connectivity technology plays a decisive role in the success of tracking assets anywhere in the world.
Modeling Techniques to Speed up Simulation and Emulation in Complex Mixed Signal Devices
A new technique yielded a much better filter response, where the current to charge information was well preserved and also reduced filter complexity. This solution leads to less computations and events for the simulator to process, in turn speeding up the simulation.
Foundries in Europe 2024
Europe will be ready to grow again its market share but should maintain the current status quo and still source about 50% of production abroad.
