We’ve covered the Tiny Tapeout project a few times on these pages, and while getting your digital IC design out there onto actual silicon for a low cost is super cool, it is still somewhat limited.

For circuit simulation, we have always been enthralled with the Falstad simulator which is a simple, Spice-like simulator that runs in the browser. [Brandon] has a simulator, too, but it simulates ...

United Microelectronics (UMC) has launched a wafer-to-wafer (W2W) 3D IC project with partners including Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Cadence, Faraday Technology, and Winbond Electronics to ...

The strengths of Taiwan's IC design sector include excellent and dedicated STEM talent, a complete semiconductor industry ecosystem from upstream to downstream, and a well-developed downstream ICT ...

The AI-powered Copilot hardware design tool provides a chatbot-like assistant with a wealth of knowledge at your fingertips. What is Copilot and how does it use AI? The capabilities of Copilot.

Achieving efficiency in integrated circuit (IC) design while maintaining design quality is not just a goal, but a necessity. Designers constantly strive to strike a balance between ever-tightening ...
