The current chip development chain is too fragmented. Design companies are only responsible for design, EDA tool companies provide software, foundries are responsible for manufacturing, and packaging and testing companies handle packaging and testing… This specialization looks beautiful on the surface, but what is the reality? Every time communication crosses departments or companies, it feels … Read more
The Chinese chip industry is rapidly developing, with most chips being tackled by our enterprises. However, high-end automotive chips are still in a “blank period,” with car manufacturers having only a few foreign companies’ products to choose from in their supply chains. The breakthrough in automotive chips is urgent. On April 3, at the Dongfeng … Read more
The Hawthorne Effect in Chip Development The Hawthorne Effect refers to the phenomenon where individuals alter their behavior when they know they are being observed, leading to improved performance or effort levels. This effect is particularly pronounced in digital chip development. When design engineers and verification engineers are aware that their code or design proposals … Read more
