Integrated circuit (IC) sizes continue to grow as they meet the compute requirements of cutting-edge applications such as artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous driving, and data centers. As design ...

The semiconductor industry is a land of peaks and valleys. It’s a place where each innovation represents the culmination of a long and often difficult climb to the summit. In the case of glass ...

Water — lots of it — is a critical enabler for advanced chip architectures, lithography, and back-end packaging. It feeds the ultra-pure water loops that touch every wafer, sluicing heat out of tools ...

AI-driven compute demands have led to several distinct supply chain bottlenecks for data centers. Legacy power management ...

AI opens the door to exploring a much larger solution space, similar to what high-level synthesis did years ago, but ...

Newer nonvolatile memory (NVM) technologies are poised to take over from flash in embedded applications on newer process ...

Investors kept pouring money into AI hardware startups in the second quarter of 2026. While companies focused on chips for AI data centers have largely dominated the funding over the past year, ...

An Industry 4.0 technology roadmap for semiconductor device makers that covers carbon emissions, water, and hazardous waste.

Hybrid bonding already works in production, but finer-pitch die-to-wafer integration must preserve fab-level surface and ...

As the semiconductor ecosystem pivots to AI, it is transforming how IP is created, verified, managed, and sold.

A realistic virtual model uncovers the impact of rounded corners on sensitivity to overlay-induced resistance.
