Much of the challenge in handling designs at this stage is their sheer size. For Skipper to have good interactive response then it needs to have the most efficient data structures. After all, even a moderate-sized chip has billions of polygons these days, and if the design is being handled...
Samsung 4nm process node - 1st generation process development is on track. Samsung is also accelerating the development of 2nd generation 4nm process technology in support of a diverse set of advanced applications while at the same time strengthening our process portfolio. - Additionally PPA (Power...
Introduction: The technology landscape is constantly evolving, and one of the key drivers behind this evolution is the semiconductor industry. In recent times, a groundbreaking concept has been gaining traction in the semiconductor community – chiplets. of chiplets in shaping the future of semiconduc...
Designing chips for a new process technology is always a challenge both from engineering and financial points of view, especially for smaller companies. In a bid to help its customers to develop various SoCs, GlobalFoundries established its ASIC Solutions (ASICs) division, which helps the company’...
Mark Bohr– “Full-nodes, I think at least from an Intel perspective, need to target close to a 2x transistor density improvement compared to the previous node. And full-nodes are also when we typically introduce major technology changes, such as high-K metal gate and then FinFET. Inter-...
Spacer-based, pitch multiplication techniques are currently being used to meet BEOL patterning demands at the 7nm technology node and beyond. In this study, we used virtual fabrication technology to model spacer-based, pitch multiplication process variability and understand the effect of this variability...
