Although it’s not the best way of understanding computers, most people tend to imagine electronic devices as black boxes filled with magic and blue smoke. Even microcontrollers, the most fundamental ...

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — Startup Solido Design Automation Inc. this week (June 26) is announcing its mission to provide “transistor-level design enhancement solutions” for analog/mixed-signal design, as ...

Sandwork Design Inc., a developer of transistor-level debugging tools, today said its waveform analysis tool, WaveView Analyzer, has been integrated with the HSIM full-chip circuit verification and ...

As the digital semiconductor manufacturing process moves into the FinFET era, more and more front-end-of-line (FEOL) defects are observed due to extremely small feature size and complex manufacturing ...

Bottom-up design verification is yet another critical step in the process. Nowadays, the methodologies of top-down design and bottom-up verification are well accepted standards in the world of digital ...

Technologies that had become specialist tools are moving back into mainstream usage; shift left is not just about doing things earlier in the flow. A few decades ago, all designers did ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A hacker can reproduce a circuit on a chip by discovering what key transistors are doing in a circuit – but not if the transistor “type” is undetectable. Purdue University ...

Each new semiconductor process node represents exciting opportunities for suppliers of design, manufacturing, test, and failure analysis solutions. A new process means new challenges to solve, and ...

IBM announced last week that it has developed the technology to produce chips with 2nm transistors. You may remember from other episodes of our explainer show, Upscaled, that smaller transistors ...
