This technology can drive the next wave of Moore's Law. What is needed to do this?
As chip makers look for new ways to overcome power limitations and process ever-increasing data volumes, the integration of photonics into semiconductors is becoming more and more popular, especially in heter
The requirements for high-speed I/O testing are becoming daunting.

For PCIe and Ethernet (IEEE 802.3), the signal becomes very small. As PCIe 5 reaches 32 Gbps (NRZ at 32 GBaud) and 802.3 reaches 112 Gbps (PAM4 at 56 GBaud), the typical eye pat
When you say the word design process, a common misunderstanding is that it is a formulaic method that leads to results... But design "process" (I don’t think this is the correct word, first of all) is a kind of distortion A methodical approach requires understanding the problem and time to deve
As COTS and aerospace-grade semiconductors increasingly switch more circuits at faster speeds, a key challenge for designers is to ensure safe and reliable operation by preventing equipment from overheating. The maximum allowable junction temperature remains unchanged. If its absolute limit is ex
By 2024, the market value of power module packaging will reach US$2.2 billion

Although microwave absorption is a widely pursued subject, concept-based design can prov
Imaging is the main process step in creating copper circuits or flexible PCBs. In single-sided circuit manufacturing, the imaging process produces a resist pattern that protects the copper from etching. This mode is essential to accurately define the circuit trajectory, because the imaging proble
Many of us make circuit boards at home. I find that I have a useful skill in my skill pack to complete the intermediate steps of the project, even if the completed version will be sent to the PCB factory. For example, when I need a breakout board combined with other development tools, there is no
