In design support for the fabless or foundry-based semiconductor-design model, the main mechanism for circuit-design information is the PDK (process-design kit). The PDK describes the electrical, ...

ANAHEIM, Calif. — A small group of long-time EDA industry insiders is quietly pulling together a study group to discuss standardization of foundry process design kits (PDKs.) The group, working under ...

More aggressive feature scaling and increasingly complex transistor structures are driving a steady increase in process complexity, increasing the risk that a specified pattern may not be ...

A full set of Open-Source tools is available to enable digital, analog, and mixed-signal ASIC design from schematic capture through tapeout. Tools installation is simply a matter of installing a VM ...

The semiconductor manufacturing process involves many steps, including, but not limited to, film deposition, photolithography, etching, and chemical mechanical polishing (CMP). Contamination can ...

Why it matters: As powerful as AI may be, many industries are still struggling to find clear-cut applications that make a measurable, demonstrable difference. Thankfully, that is not the case when it ...
