As the global semiconductor industry enters the so-called 2-nanometer process era, the actual size of transistors—the core components of semiconductor chips—still remains above 10 nm. How much smaller ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - A simulation of electrical current moving through a futuristic electronic transistor has been modeled atom-by-atom in less than 15 minutes by Purdue University researchers. The ...

Nothing is worse for a design team than a chip that fails to work in the bringup lab. Electrical problems are historically a major cause of such failures. Power leaks, power-ground DC paths, missing ...

The T2B transistor to behavioral conversion software is suitable for analyzing combined signal and power integrity effects in today’s high-speed designs. It is important technology because, according ...

Successful automotive electronic design requires a focus on safety, performance and customer satisfaction. This makes IC reliability not just a “nice to have” feature, but a fundamental requirement.

Before a chip design is turned from a hardware design language (HDL) like VHDL or Verilog into physical hardware, testing and validating the design is an essential step. Yet simulating a HDL design is ...
