The steps of a complex process can be displayed in sequence using a graphic referred to as a process flowchart. The graphic explains the way a process is or should be functioning, depending on the ...

Software engineers have a host of tooling to organize their projects, chief being Git software like GitLab or GitHub, but hardware engineers today lack that same organizing principle. They are stuck ...

Electronic design automation (EDA) houses like Cadence Design Systems and Synopsys are working closely with TSMC to migrate their respective analog design flows to foundry’s advanced process nodes ...

3D-ICs are proving a challenge even for designers accustomed to dealing with power and performance tradeoffs, but they are considered an inevitable migration path for leading-edge designs due to the ...

The process of chip design is a complex and multi-step endeavour that involves various stages from initial system specifications to manufacturing. Each step is crucial in achieving the goal of ...

SOC designers today not only have to design at denser geometries and with greater complexities, but also have to manage critical housekeeping chores such as well-tracking dependencies, controlling ...

Upcoming 14A and 10A process nodes will use high-NA EUV anamorphic scanners, which will require two stitched half-fields to achieve the equivalent wafer exposure area of previous-generation scanners, ...

We all love coming up with ideas and solutions to problems, but if we do not carefully consider our approach to the development of the solution, what we manufacture may not meet the client’s needs.
