Once upon a time, integrated circuits (ICs) were built by the same companies that designed them. The design of an IC was tightly integrated with the manufacturing processes available within each ...

“Our early collaboration on process, design and manufacturing has enabled GLOBALFOUNDRIES and Synopsys to deliver a comprehensive front-to-back production-proven 28nm design solution based on the ...

Process design kits consist of a set of files that typically contain descriptions of the basic building blocks of the process. They are expressed, algorithmically, as Pcells. These descriptions are ...

The steps of a complex process can be displayed in sequence using a graphic referred to as a process flowchart. The graphic explains the way a process is or should be functioning, depending on the ...

Although continuous flow chemistry—wherein molecules are made in a continuous process rather than in batches—has gained ground in academic labs, its adoption by industry and contract manufacturing ...

Tape-out of the Qualinx QLX3xx, a family of ultra-low-power Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) systems-on-chip (SoCs), represents the first step on the path toward a fully automated trusted ...

The gate-all-around (GAA) semiconductor manufacturing process, also known as gate-all-around field-effect transistor (GAA-FET) technology, defies the performance limitations of FinFET by reducing the ...

GlobalFoundries (GF) and Qualinx today announced the successful completion of the first fully European-based, end-to-end semiconductor manufacturing flow at GlobalFoundries’ Dresden fab on its FDX ...
