Arteris FlexGen Opens Up Multi-Die Traffic Management for Non-Coherent Networks

Source: https://semiwiki.com/ip/arteris/374391-arteris-flexgen-opens-up-multi-die-traffic-management-for-non-coherent-networks/ Last year I wrote about Arteris’ introduction of multi-die support for coherent NoCs. This is a very big deal because hyperscalers and OEMs are now building large systems that depend on multi-chiplet architectures and require efficient traffic management between chiplets, in one case

Maskless EUV Lithography: An Alternative to E-Beam

Source: https://semiwiki.com/lithography/373583-maskless-euv-lithography-an-alternative-to-e-beam/ Semiconductor manufacturing depends on lithography: the process of transferring tiny circuit patterns onto a silicon wafer. Conventional extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) lithography projects light with a wavelength of 13.5 nanometers through a reflective optical system, using a custom photomask to define each layer. It can
