To handle numerous technical challenges associated with advanced process nodes, chip designers must have a design flow that adapts to evolving requirements and design goals. At the same time, design ...

While all eyes tend to focus on the leading-edge silicon nodes, many mature nodes continue to enjoy robust manufacturing demand. Successive nodes stopped reducing die cost at around the 20nm node. “In ...

Electronic design automation (EDA) houses like Cadence Design Systems and Synopsys are working closely with TSMC to migrate their respective analog design flows to foundry’s advanced process nodes ...

We talk a lot about process nodes at ExtremeTech, but we don't often refer back to what a process node technically is. With Intel's 10nm node now in production and TSMC + Samsung talking about future ...

As the semiconductor industry continues to push the boundaries of innovation with advanced nodes, it is easy to overlook the critical role that ICs manufactured at legacy process nodes play in our ...
