Prime Time Synopsys Tool

Chipworks. By Dick James, Senior Technology Analyst, Chipworks. On December 3rd 7th , the good and the great of the electron device world will make their usual pilgrimage to San Francisco for the 2. IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting. To quote the conference website front page, IEDM is is the worlds preeminent forum for reporting technological breakthroughs in the areas of semiconductor and electronic device technology, design, manufacturing, physics, and modeling. IEDM is the flagship conference for nanometer scale CMOS transistor technology, advanced memory, displays, sensors, MEMS devices, novel quantum and nano scale devices and phenomenology, optoelectronics, devices for power and energy harvesting, high speed devices, as well as process technology and device modeling and simulation. Thats a pretty broad range of topics, but from my perspective at Chipworks, focused on the analysis of chips that have made it to production, its the conference where companies strut their technology, and post some of the research that may make it into real product in the next few years. Though these days process papers actually tend to be after the launch of the relevant product, such is the preoccupation with trade secrecy. In the last few weeks Ive gone through the advance program, and heres my look at whats coming up, in more or less chronological order. As usual there are overlapping sessions with interesting papers in parallel slots, but well take the decision as to which to attend on the conference floor. SaturdaySunday. Again this year the conference starts on the Saturday afternoon, with a set of six 9. The Struggle to Keep Scaling BEOL, and What We Can Do Next, Rod Augur, Global. Foundries.

Description using above command you can specify the units for capacitance, resistance, time, voltage, current, and power. This year I hope to make it to the Physical Characterization session, and possibly the Io. T talk at 4. 3. 0. On Sunday December 1. Technology Options at the 5 Nanometer Node and DesignTechnology Enablers for Computing Applications. Last year the process short course was Emerging CMOS Technology at 5 nm and Beyond, so I guess we will see how things have evolved at 5 nm. The course has been organized by An Steegen and Dan Mocuta of Imec. They introduce it bright and early, at 8. The first session is Nano Patterning Challenges at the 5nm Node, given by. Akihisa Sekiguchi of Tokyo Electron. Next up is Nadine Collaert from imec, discussing Novel Channel Materials for High Performance and Low Power CMOS, followed by Aaron Thean, of the National University of Singapore and formerly imec,who is presenting on Options beyond Fin. FETs at 5nm node. Contacts are the next topic, Low Resistance Contacts to Enable 5nm Node Technology Patterning, Etch, Clean, Metallization and Device Performance, by Reza Arghavani of Lam Research. The back end stack gets more critical as dimensions shrink, so we have a review of Parasitic R and C Mitigation Options for BEOL and MOL in N5 Technology, by Theodorus Standaert from IBM. The last session covers off Metrology Challenges for 5nm Technology, by Applied Materials Ofer Adan given that we are now counting atoms, challenging is a good way to describe it. Prime Time Synopsys Tool' title='Prime Time Synopsys Tool' />John Chen of Nvidia set up the DesignTechnology short course, which takes a fairly high level look at the technologies involved in processing Big Data, discussing the different processors themselves, the effects of memory, managing the power and connectivity, and where advanced packaging fits in. So we have The Rise of Massively Parallel Processing Why the Demands of Big Data and Power Efficiency are Changing the Computing Landscape Liam Madden, XilinxBreaking the Memory Bottleneck in Computing Applications with Emerging Memory Technologies a Design and Technology Perspective Gabriel Molas, LetiPower Management with Integrated Power Devicesand how Ga. N Changes the Story Alberto Doronzo, Texas InstrumentsInterconnect Challenges for Future Computing William J. Dally, NVIDIA Stanford UAdvanced Packaging Technologies for System Integration Douglas Yu, TSMCI would call both courses a full day, seeing as we finish at 5. If you have the stamina, at 6. CEA Leti is hosting a Devices Workshop at the Nikko Hotel, across the street from the Hilton. Monday. Monday morning we have the plenary session, with three pertinent talks on the challenges and potential of contemporary electronics Technology Scaling Challenges and Opportunities of Memory Devices Seok Hee Lee, HynixBrain Inspired Computing Dharmendra S. Modha IBMSymbiotic Low Power, Smart and Secure Technologies in the age of Hyperconnectivity Marie Nolle Semeria, Leti. Three quality presentations in three hours, but beware of numb bum if you take in all of them get up and have a stretch in between, and take a walk before lunch After lunch, in keeping with IEDMs tradition of intellectual overload, we have seven parallel sessions Session 2 Circuit and Device Interaction Advanced Platform Technologies including 7 nm fin. FETs Session 2 starts a track on Circuit and Device Interaction, in this case with papers on Advanced Platform Technologies for me a highlight session, since the session ends with duelling 7 nm late news papers from TSMC 2.
