Semiconductors: Export Controls on EDA Software Will Hurt Chinese Chip Manufacturers
Today’s computer chips can contain more than a billion transistors, and because of their complexity are only possible to layout using sophisticated electronic design automation (EDA) software. On August 12, 2022, the US Commerce Department announced a ban on EDA…
Semiconductors: Moore’s Law Gets a Reprieve?
It’s dead. No, it’s alive. Moore’s Law seems to survive despite the annual death knell. Gordon Moore predicted in 1965 that the number of transistors on a computer would double every two years. For more than 50 years the ‘law’…
Semiconductors: US CHIPS Act for Expanding Domestic Chip Production
On July 19th, the Senate voted 64-34 for bipartisan support of the US CHIPS act, a bill designed to pump $54 billion into the US semiconductor development. Competition from China is a major driver for support of the package. The…
Semiconductors: Chip Cycle Boom and Bust Timings Accelerate
For the last year and one half, we’ve heard about the computer chip shortage and how it is affecting the manufacture of everything from automobiles to appliances. A move towards embedding chips into a huge variety of consumer and industrial…
