Silicon chips are reaching their limit. Here’s the future
We live in a world powered by computer circuits. Modern life depends on semiconductor chips and transistors on silicon-based integrated circuits, which switch electronic signals on and off. Most use the abundant and cheap element silicon because it can be used to both prevent and allow the flow of electricity; it both insulates and semiconducts.
Samsung Strengthens its Foundry Customer Support with New SAFE Foundry Ecosystem Program
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a world leader in advanced semiconductor technology, has announced today its continued commitment to first-pass silicon success for its foundry customers’ chip designs by launching the Samsung Advanced Foundry Ecosystem (SAFETM) program.
Functional Safety Issues Rising
Developing semiconductors for safety-critical markets such as automotive, industrial and medical involves a growing list of extra steps that need to be taken pre- and post-manufacturing to ensure product integrity, reliability and security.
DDR5 memory is twice as fast as DDR4 and slated for 2019
In many cases, the cost of a DDR4 memory kit is twice what it was a year ago, but if it comes as any consolation, at least the market isn’t standing pat. Rambus, a company that is known equally well for developing memory technologies as it is for suing other firms over the use of its IP, announced that it has a functional DDR5 DIMM (dual in-line memory module) prototype.
Rambus announces industry’s first fully functional DDR5 DIMM
Specialist memory company Rambus has announced a fully functional DDR5 DIMM (dual in-line memory module) prototype. It claims to have achieved an industry first with its DIMM “capable of achieving the speeds required for the upcoming DDR5 standard”.
