Sandwork Design Inc., a developer of transistor-level debugging tools, today said its waveform analysis tool, WaveView Analyzer, has been integrated with the HSIM full-chip circuit verification and ...

As the digital semiconductor manufacturing process moves into the FinFET era, more and more front-end-of-line (FEOL) defects are observed due to extremely small feature size and complex manufacturing ...

Bottom-up design verification is yet another critical step in the process. Nowadays, the methodologies of top-down design and bottom-up verification are well accepted standards in the world of digital ...

Standard cell libraries have been a mainstay of chip design for many decades since the inception of logic synthesis and composition methodologies. Cell library IP typically contains Verilog models ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A hacker can reproduce a circuit on a chip by discovering what key transistors are doing in a circuit – but not if the transistor “type” is undetectable. Purdue University ...

Low power design has become a cornerstone of modern integrated circuit development, driven by energy efficiency demands and the challenges of scaling in nanometre technologies. Innovations in ...

The semiconductor giant wants to avoid past mistakes that have resulted in product delays by taking a new approach to the way it designs chips, which has already resulted with what the company says is ...

IBM announced last week that it has developed the technology to produce chips with 2nm transistors. You may remember from other episodes of our explainer show, Upscaled, that smaller transistors ...

The first transistor was successfully demonstrated at Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey, in 1947. This three-terminal device has spawned many of the electronics devices that make possible ...

Engineers propose a built-in security measure that would better protect computer chip hardware from hackers. A hacker can reproduce a circuit on a chip by discovering what key transistors are doing in ...
