Construction costs in the U.S., compared to Taiwan, are about twice as much (the process equipment costs are similar). “Building a wafer fab in the west costs twice as much and takes twice the time of building it in Taiwan,” Exyte’s Blaschitz said at SEMI’s ISS.
The High Tech Used to Upskill a High-Tech Workforce
The semiconductor industry is just one example of many industries that stand to benefit from implementing simulation, virtual twin technology into training practices – but it is currently of the most need for change.
Simplifying Technical Documentation for Embedded Systems
By treating documentation generation as a compilation problem and leveraging the power of LLMs within a structured framework, a system can be created to handle the scale and complexity of modern codebases while producing high-quality, consistent, and maintainable documentation.
Leveraging Agile Practices in Chip Design for Enhanced Compliance and Reliability
Implementing practices inspired by Agile way or working into chip design processes offers substantial benefits in enhancing compliance and reliability.
How LTE-M Outperforms Other Technologies in Asset Tracking
The choice of connectivity technology plays a decisive role in the success of tracking assets anywhere in the world.
Modeling Techniques to Speed up Simulation and Emulation in Complex Mixed Signal Devices
A new technique yielded a much better filter response, where the current to charge information was well preserved and also reduced filter complexity. This solution leads to less computations and events for the simulator to process, in turn speeding up the simulation.
Foundries in Europe 2024
Europe will be ready to grow again its market share but should maintain the current status quo and still source about 50% of production abroad.
Enabling HBM 16H Stacks with Residue-Free Fluxless Active Oxide Removal
