AI energy bottleneck is driving semiconductor materials innovation, says Applied Materials (Digitimes)
|
|
|
Rising demand for artificial intelligence (AI) computing is driving a new wave of technological transformation in the semiconductor industry, while energy is emerging as the next bottleneck for the AI sector. Applied Materials group vice president and Taiwan president Eric Yu pointed out that semiconductor technology competition in the AI era can no longer focus solely on performance and transistor counts. How to support more computing with less energy will become the core of the next stage of semiconductor innovation....

Rising demand for CPO, SiPh reshapes semiconductor testing (Digitimes)
|
|
|
As chip power consumption, transmission speed and architectural complexity increase, testing has shifted from being a final pre-shipment quality gate to an earlier stage in product development and ramp-to-volume, according to KPMG managing director Jesse Chen, who previously worked at IBM and in venture capital. That shift is making testing a critical factor in product verification, yield ramp and supply chain stability....
