Thermal problems in PCBs often get overlooked and they may not be addressed until a design has gone through a round of prototyping. Obviously, prototyping is expensive and design teams cannot throw infinite dollars at prototype spins, but they can push some of the testing work onto lower cost prototype spins. One way to approach this from the thermal perspective is to run a thermal prototype. These prototypes are not meant to be elaborate or...

There are a number of factors to take into account when analyzing the growth of the semiconductor industry. New electronics and improved digital functions also rely on increased processing power from much smaller components, resulting in more capable products in compact packages—the art of digitalisation at its finest. .  Over the past few years, industries have seen their greatest feats of digitalisation and development stunted by the...

Of all the potential problems with a design, thermal challenges are often the most difficult to predict. It's also the case that you don't notice a thermal management problem until you have already created prototypes and started testing. At that point, the mechanical team has to modify an enclosure, include any cooling mechanisms, and they may need to change many specs in a product. It's too late in the game to start changing specifications after...

An aging workforce. A generation with a new mentality and different expectations. Surging demand and an industry that requires esoteric knowledge, practical experience, and hard and soft skills—it’s a confluence of circumstances that have led to a significant talent deficit. A study prepared for the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) by Oxford Economics showed the U.S. semiconductor industry faces a shortfall of roughly 67,000 workers by...

Imagine a lab assistant that can take notes for you, control your lab equipment, plot your data, and analyze all your results for you in one go. This concept has been around for, basically, forever. What’s new in this space is that no human will be performing the said activities - AI will. In this article we’re going to look at a breakthrough technology that gives us the power to leverage an AI run lab assistant using only our smartphone and a...
