Reliability has been an important factor in the semiconductor industry for decades. A closer look reveals three main priorities: In the area of technology development and optimization, the microscopic ...

We’ve covered the Tiny Tapeout project a few times on these pages, and while getting your digital IC design out there onto actual silicon for a low cost is super cool, it is still somewhat limited.

The estimated revenue of Taiwan's IC design industry in 2022 totalled at a commanding US$40 billion. The sector has proven itself to be eminently high-yielding with an enviable average profit margin ...

China IC design firm Rockchip is facing an open-source licensing dispute after GitHub reportedly froze code repositories linked to its projects, drawing attention across the semiconductor and software ...

For circuit simulation, we have always been enthralled with the Falstad simulator which is a simple, Spice-like simulator that runs in the browser. [Brandon] has a simulator, too, but it simulates ...

Each generation of IC design technology introduces new levels of complexity, and logic verification teams face a host of new challenges due to this dramatic rise in IC design complexity. As a result, ...

The AI-powered Copilot hardware design tool provides a chatbot-like assistant with a wealth of knowledge at your fingertips. What is Copilot and how does it use AI? The capabilities of Copilot.

It’s surprising to learn that the idea of 3D integrated circuits (3D ICs) has been kicking around for over sixty years. Not long after the first MOS IC emerged in 1960, researchers were already ...
