    \"\" Just because Santa can deliver presents to children around the world in under 24 hours on Christmas Eve doesn\u2019t mean the process can\u2019t be improved. In fact, this year Santa is investigating how autonomous driving technology can help increase the efficiency of his global gift delivery service. Read how Siemens\u2019 portfolio of technologies can help Santa create a fleet of autonomous sleighs to make his holiday a little less taxing.<\/p>\n

    Layout schema generation: Improving yield ramp during technology development<\/a><\/strong>
    \nSolid State Technology<\/em><\/p>\n

    \"\" When creating a new IC technology, IC manufacturers usually use designs from a previous node to identify potential manufacturing failures. But, what do they do if a technology did not exist at the previous node? An innovative new technology, layout schema generation (LSG), enables design teams to generate additional macros to add to test structures without relying on past designs for input.<\/p>\n

    Realizing the Promise of Silicon Photonics<\/a><\/strong>
    \nPhotonics Media<\/em><\/p>\n

    \"\" Silicon photonics provide a number of significant benefits over traditional silicon ICs including transmission speed, low power, older proven processes, and more. So, why haven\u2019t they taken over the market yet? Mentor\u2019s John Ferguson examines how the slowing of Moore\u2019s Law may give silicon photonics an opportunity, and the infrastructure they will need to capitalize.<\/p>\n

    Webinar: Tanner and ClioSoft Integration<\/a><\/strong>
    \nSemiWiki<\/em><\/p>\n

    Mixed-signal ICs fuse digital and analog circuitry to enable bi-directional signal conversion from audial, temperature, and visual inputs to digital signals for processing. Mixed-signal designers often face shorter design cycles, making effective team collaboration critical to their success. To help these designers meet tight timelines, Tanner has integrated ClioSoft\u2019s SOS7 design management solution to enable efficient local and multi-site collaboration.<\/p>\n

    Adding system-level, post-layout electrical analysis to HDAP design and verification<\/a><\/strong>
    \nTech Design Forum<\/em><\/p>\n

    \"\" High-density advanced packaging offerings are expanding, but will require a more robust and standardized EDA flow to reach their full commercial potential. Current physical verification methods are a valuable starting point, but a more comprehensive flow that performs system-level electrical analysis is needed. This article describes what such a flow may look like, and what tools it will need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
