Photo by Anne Nygård on Unsplash The complexity of semiconductor devices is increasing at a rapid pace. The reason is the demand for new features, which requires novel design and manufacturing approaches, which come at a higher cost due to the time, resources, and investment needed to enable new semiconductor solutions. On the design side, it has become easier to bring up new solutions and prove them using an advanced simulation approach. Eventually, these solutions should be fabricated and validated, which costs millions of dollars, and with every next-gen design and manufacturing process, the cost of prove-in keeps increasing. Design: Complex solutions demand time and resources, which increases the cost of new solutions. Manufacturing: Bringing new solutions to the market means investing in new-age manufacturing facilities. The connected (equipment, material, raw wafers, […]
