IMAPS Keynotes Focus on Heterogeneous Integration for HPC, AI, and EVs

This year’s IMAPS keynotes focused on advancements in heterogeneous integration (HI) technologies and chiplet architectures enabled by HI, driven by the needs of high-performance computing, AI, and automotive applications. While it feels for some of us that we’ve been in the thick of advanced packaging, HI, and the More than...

What’s Happening in the World of Sustainability

The last month has been an interesting time in the world of sustainability. First, the SEC released its estimates on costs for reporting on climate change, and a document for review on suggested reporting standards. The S&P Dow Jones index removed Tesla from its top 10 ESG index, The Davos...

YES Inc. Acquires SPEC

Yield Engineering Systems, Inc. (YES), a leading manufacturer of process equipment for semiconductor advanced packaging, life sciences, and “More-than-Moore” applications, today announced that it has acquired Semiconductor Process Equipment Corporation (SPEC ) of Valencia, California for an undisclosed amount. The companies had announced a strategic partnership agreement in June. The...

Autonomous Vehicles Drive AI Advances for Edge Computing

Advances in Edge Computing Must Innovate for Autonomous Vehicles to Realize Their Potential Large numbers of sensors, massive amounts of data, ever-increasing computing power, real-time operation, and security concerns required for autonomous vehicles are driving the core of computation from the cloud to the edge of the network. Autonomous vehicles...

System-on-Chip Disintegration is Underway

We have known for some time that with scaling coming to an end the industry would need to find another way to continue moving forward. One of the options is known as SoC disintegration, which is when a system-on-chip (SoC) is disintegrated into its functional parts and then connect these...

SEMICON West Keynotes Look to a Future Beyond Moore’s Law

In addition to Francoise’s post about technology megatrends here, below is part one of my perspective, mostly about the SEMICON West keynotes. Design and Manufacturing Are Finally Combining From July 9-11, many IC manufacturing experts came together at SEMICON West in San Francisco’s very nicely renovated Moscone Center. As an industry...

Strategic Partnership with ESD Alliance Extends SEMI’s Reach to Semiconductor Design

On Monday, April 16, 2018, SEMI, the industry association representing the global electronics manufacturing supply chain, and the Electronic System Design (ESD) Alliance, representing the design community, announced a strategic partnership. On Tuesday I had a very informative conference call with Bettina Weiss, VP Business Development at SEMI and Bob...

The Great Divide Between Semiconductor Design and Manufacturing

Shortly before the summer break started, I attended a number of industry conferences: MEPTEC, ECTC, DAC, MEMS & Sensors, ASME and SEMICON West. At all of them, I clearly noticed that our industry is looking beyond “Moore’s Law” to advanced IC packaging, multi-die ICs, and system scaling. However, at every...

SEMICON West 2015 Demonstrates the Powerful IC Manufacturing Base

A few weeks ago, San Francisco’s Moscone Center hosted the Design Automation Conference (DAC 2015), with many EDA experts and their customers focused on how to design the new wave of 10nm chips, this year and next. Last week the Moscone Center was buzzing again, this time with material suppliers,...
