How Big A Deal Is Aging? - Semiconductor Engineering
14 hours ago · By going through the levels of accuracy, guard bands can be reduced from the 5% to 10% range down to about 2%. Most companies provide some kind of sensitivity analysis based on activity, but it is likely that this form of analysis will bring in more aging factors, such as local temperature or other forms of stress.
Semiconductor Engineering - knowledge-center
A design or verification unit that is pre-packed and available for licensing. Separate electronic devices using Internet or other connections to communicate among the devices. Usually sensors or actuators are sending data to a computing hub. Semiconductor materials enable electronic circuits to be constructed.
From FinFETs To Gate-All-Around - Semiconductor Engineering
Nov 19, 2020 · Gate-all-around, or GAA transistors, are a modified transistor structure where the gate contacts the channel from all sides and enables continued scaling. Such transistors are referred to as gate-all-around, or GAA, transistors, and different variants have been proposed. Early GAA devices will use vertically-stacked nanosheets.
