西門子數位化工業軟體今日宣布與聯電（UMC）合作，為聯電的晶圓對晶圓堆疊（wafer-on-wafer）及晶片對晶圓堆疊（chip-on-wafer）技術提供新的多晶片 3D IC 規劃、組裝驗證，以及寄生參數萃取（PEX）工作流程。 據悉，聯電開發出其全新混合鍵合（hybrid-bonding）3D 電路布局驗證（LVS）和寄生參數獲取工作流程，使用西門子 XPEDITION Substrate Integrator 軟體進行設計規劃與組裝，西門子 Calibre 3DSTACK 軟體進行晶片間的連接檢查，同時還使用 Calibre nmDRC 軟體、Calibre nmLVS 軟體及 Calibre xACT 軟體進行 IC 及晶片間延展實體及電路驗證任務。 而在雙方合作後，聯電也將向全球客戶提供此項新流程。藉由在單一封裝元件中提供晶片或小晶片（chiplet）彼此堆疊的技術，企業可以在相同或更小的晶片面積上實現多個元件的功能。與在 PCB 板上擺置多個晶片的傳統系統配置相比，這種方法不僅更加節省空間，而且能夠提供更出色的系統效能及功能以及更

By Roger Kang How many times has this happened to you—you waited for an hour to complete the loading of a layout file, only to have the job abort at 99% because the machine ran out of memory or disk space? Now you’ve wasted that hour, plus you have to find another machine with enough physical memory, or spend time cleaning up disk space, before rerunning your job. So much for your productivity that day. Even worse, that extra time might delay the tapeout schedule. As more con

Al Hahn, Executive director of the Association of Support Professionals (ASP) today announced the winners of ASP's Best Support Websites 2022 competition. The top scoring websites were, in alphabetical order: NetApp Nutanix Red Hat Siemens Digital Industry Software In addition, SonicWall received a special award for Best Search. "Search is a common task for all support websites" noted Hahn. "For the past three years I have asked our judges if they could nominate any site for

What is 5G and what are its benefits? The fifth generation of mobile telecommunications technology, or 5G, is the next generation of wireless network technology, promising faster data speeds and more bandwidth than ever before. What does that mean for the average person? Think about cellphones, for one. People don't just use their phones for calling or texting anymore—they surf the web, check in with social media apps, watch movies, listen to music playlists, write blogs, tak
