Vlsi Conference 2020 Plus Lowering Prices

Chip Market Research Services All eyes are focused on the second half Order activity for semiconductor equipment edged higher, jumping above 75 degrees with nearly all segments recording increases The first half of the year is closing out and its been a strong one for both chipmakers and equipment suppliers The second half of the year, especially fourth quarter, look very uncertain due to rising COVID-19 cases, the ongoing trade war with China, and the U.S.

The positive is that VLSIs Chip Price Performance Index continued to offer good news, finishing flat for the second straight week Semiconductor Analytics Last Week in the Semiconductor Market: Semiconductor sales are forming a W as Junes normal peak is weak due to the transition to phase 2 of the WAHE and US imposed restrictions on shipping to Huawei.

The 2Q20 Nowcast slipped again as the market zeros in on the quarters close.

Semi Market results from last week: Semiconductor Sales Nowcast: 2Q202Q19: 2Q20 slid to 12 Semiconductor Weather1 Report: Temperate, Warmer IC Supply-Demand2 Metrics: Tight Electronics Price Trend: Roll over postponed Chip History Center How Japan Lost its Semiconductor Industry: The 5 strategic causes behind the long-term failure of Japans Semiconductor industry are covered in this paper.

Others were macroeconomic tsunamis that could not have been avoided.

How Power, Performance, Area, and Cost relate to Moores Law: Sunlin Chou discusses how managing these parameters have evolved over time in this 2004 conversation.

As semiconductor chips get larger it would seem they would consume more power.

Vlsi Conference 2020 Plus Lowering Prices

The Chip Insider Strategy and Tactics: VLSI 2020 Symposium and COVID VLSI 2020 Symposium: Normally held in Hawaii, VLSI 2020 showed how participation could zoom up when the travel barrier is removed plus lowering prices.

The IEEE also had record submissions to the Technology side of the conference This indicates that research action is shifting from circuits to technology.

And the technology focus is on finding ways to improve PPAC (Power, Performance, Area, and Cost).

Once in the conference some interesting trends could be seen.

First, and least surprising, was that work in nanoribbon GAAs as a replacement for tri-gate FinFETs was hot.

Kangguo Cheng of IBM presented The Last Wavelength: An emergent trend I saw was researchers appear to be the plenary from Mike Mayberry of Intel had all the ingredients of a great plenary.

Now I did not want to get into the political issue, because this is personal.

But I did want to fact check the points being made to see if they were true and arm myself for next weeks American Independence Holiday weekend.

Anyway, I thought I would share them with you, as I am sure youve run into others who have been swayed by these social media sites.
