The technological payoffs of future transistors that operate at a trillion cycles per second, or terahertz (THz), could include improved surveillance systems for detecting concealed weapons, more ...

In the vast reaches of the semiconductor cosmos, a silent menace lurks—one that can obliterate years of design work in a fraction of a nanosecond. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) verification stands as ...

Infineon has announced that notebook adapter maker Chicony Power, has selected the company’s CoolGaN transistors G5 to power multiple laptop adapters designed for a top customer’s notebooks.

As we all know, the back-end design of layout implementation known as integrated circuit (IC) layout — is simplistically divided into ASIC-style flow and full-custom flow. This article will try to ...

Lab architecture used to test 2D semiconductors artificially boosts performance metrics, making it harder to assess whether these materials can truly replace silicon.

Targeted for users of next-generation physical design closure tools, customer-owned tooling (COT) flows, and advanced ASIC flows, a new suite of formal verification products reaches into the physical ...

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 ...
