New iNEMI Project on High Density Interconnect Socket Warpage Prediction
December 14, 2022 | iNEMIEstimated reading time: 1 minute
High density interconnect sockets are becoming larger, which creates challenges for socket warpage simulation and can impact SMT assembly yield and reliability. Expedited computation that maintains the required level of accuracy is needed to shorten socket design cycles.
Phase 1 of iNEMI’s High Density Interconnect Socket Warpage Prediction and Characterization project established an analysis and validation framework for socket development, conducted simulation experiments, and initially investigated the impact of socket design, fiber filled material properties and molding process conditions on socket warpage.
Phase 2 will focus on improving socket warpage simulation accuracy and speed, further investigating the impact of molding and design on socket warpage, and will ultimately establish guidelines for dynamic socket warpage measurement and prediction. If you are involved in socket design and development, board assembly and/or reliability, this project will be of interest to you. Please join us to learn more on January 5 or 6. The deadline to sign up for the project is February 17, 2023.

Cadence AI Autorouter May Transform the Landscape
06/19/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazinePatrick Davis, product management director with Cadence Design Systems, discusses advancements in autorouting technology, including AI. He emphasizes a holistic approach that enhances placement and power distribution before routing. He points out that younger engineers seem more likely to embrace autorouting, while the veteran designers are still wary of giving up too much control. Will AI help autorouters finally gain industry-wide acceptance?
Beyond Design: The Metamorphosis of the PCB Router
06/18/2025 | Barry Olney -- Column: Beyond DesignThe traditional PCB design process is often time-consuming and labor-intensive. Routing a complex PCB layout can consume up to 30% of a designer’s time, and addressing this issue is not straightforward. We have all encountered this scenario: You spend hours setting the constraints and finally hit the Go button, only to be surprised by the lack of visual appeal and the obvious flaws in the result.
Robust AI Demand Drives 6% QoQ Growth in Revenue for Top 10 Global IC Design Companies in 1Q25
06/15/2025 | TrendForceTrendForce’s latest investigations reveal that 1Q25 revenue for the global IC design industry reached US$77.4 billion, marking a 6% QoQ increase and setting a new record high. This growth was fueled by early stocking ahead of new U.S. tariffs on electronics and the ongoing construction of AI data centers around the world, which sustained strong chip demand despite the traditional off-season.
