Introduction Workbench testing is a key step in the manufacturing of semiconductor chips. Testing consists of sending electrical signals to semiconductor devices and comparing output signals to expected values. It is essential to ensure that the produced devices work according to specifications. Workbench testing is also time consuming and costly, so we do not want […]

Introduction Silicon design teams are constantly under pressure to deliver more efficient products faster, while keeping costs low. Electronic Design Automation (EDA) infrastructure teams, which provide compute, storage, and other IT resources to silicon design teams, can play a critical role in shrinking the RTL-to-GDSII cycle. Historically, compute capacity for EDA workloads has come from […]

Introduction As the global supply chain continues to impact the semiconductor industry, it is vital to find a better way to forecast demand and predict supply chain shortfalls. As a follow-on to my interview and content provided in Architecture Monthly: Semiconductor Design, this blog discusses the need for cross-industry data sharing and collaboration, and the […]

Introduction The high-volume manufacturing of semiconductor devices relies on complex wafer production and packaging processes, supported by a long list of specialized equipment manufacturers and materials suppliers. This heterogenous and globally distributed manufacturing supply chain must work closely with semiconductor design and verification teams. These teams create application-specific integrated circuits (ASICS) and systems-on-chip (SoC) to […]

Introduction This blog discusses the insights Ansys and AWS were able to gain by scaling Ansys RedHawk-SC on the AWS Cloud. The joint investigation outlines how to right-size AWS compute and storage resource for optimal price/performance results while running at scale. By combining the capabilities of Ansys RedHawk-SC with being able to scale compute resources […]

AWS for Semiconductor Design, Verification, and Fabrication It’s no secret that speed-to-market is driving a new competitive reality in the semiconductor industry. For both chip manufacturing and design, the pressure to stay ahead of the curve is forcing semiconductor companies to gain greater control of their supply chains, react to changing business realities, and deliver […]
