An integrated circuit at 0.25-micron design rules contains about 800 meters of wire interconnect, draining 50 percent of the power consumed by the circuit. When 0.01-micron chips emerge, they will ...

As artificial intelligence moves from model training into broader commercial deployment, the underlying data center architecture is changing rapidly. Higher computing density, faster interconnect ...

Digital integrated circuit interconnects have characteristics that must be considered as an integral part of the design process. SoC designers can't be fully decoupled from the manufacturing process.

The semiconductor industry faces enormous challenges in virtually every field. Thanks to a recent advance in interconnect technology from Applied Materials, we should manage to squeeze a few more ...

Moving data around is probably the least interesting aspect of system design, but it is one of three legs that defines the key performance indicators (KPI) for a system. Computation, memory, and ...
