“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it” ~ George Santayana Over the past forty years, the presence of legally protected Intellectual...
If I had not attended the 2015 3D ASIP conference, my outlook for 2016 would have been less upbeat for...
In a previous blog, I discussed a power design network’s (PDN) self and transfer impedances. Self impedance highlights anti-resonances causing a...
I am fortunate to work with Prof. Madhavan Swaminathan, Founder, CTO, E-System Design, and inventor of our algorithms. Long ago,...
If my fitness regimen can be Internet enabled, why can’t my magazine subscription renewals be? We all get them. Some...
In the past year, I have written short pieces explaining how Path Finding methodology can proactively help identify viable solutions...
Over the past year… The amount of 2.5/3D articles published has gained momentum. Some articles discuss when HVM will be achieved for...
Prior to 1992, the high technology industry was ‘immature’. Each supply chain vendor (equipment, materials) would accumulate input from their...
In previous posts, I have discussed various scenarios when Path Finding can be used. All were focused on the early...
Amy Palesko from SavanSys Solutions wrote an excellent 3D IC cost analysis article (The Cost of 3D ICs) on 3D...
In previous posts, I discussed a process for process-centering a design. In this post, we will examine how non-robust design’s...
In previous posts, I discussed Robust Design analysis as orthogonal Path Finding. This analysis is performed while the design implementation...
In previous posts, I discussed a classical Path Finding methodology.¹ Classical is when various design variables are arranged in different...
You might think this is crazy but bear with me for 421 words. Early in my career, I worked at...
Fruitful path finding eventually identifies solutions that are viable for mechanical, electrical, thermal, and cost (METC) requirements. Hopefully, more than one...
TechSearch International’s recently published 3D IC Gap Analysis report has a section for a new class of tools called Path...
3D integration is being touted as the next semiconductor revolution by industry. 3D integration involves the use of various interconnects...
Microelectronic products all have mechanical, thermal and electrical properties that degrade until the device is permanently damaged. Path finding adds...
2.5D/3D packaging technologies are revitalizing creativity in high technology products. We thought we knew what faster, better, lighter and smaller...
