Synopsys Converge 2026 unveiled the “New Synopsys” vision following its acquisition of Ansys, focusing on a silicon-to-systems design paradigm. The event introduced Multiphysics-Fusion technology for integrated EDA solutions and the AgentEngineer workflow, which leverages AI to achieve significant productivity gains in chip design while addressing challenges in multi-physics integration and autonomy.
Due to a structural power generation gap where AI infrastructure construction outpaces grid connection timelines, industry professionals expect over 33% of data centers to operate on 100% onsite power by 2030. This shift is driving the adoption of high-efficiency hardware and the movement of AI inference workloads toward the network edge to bypass grid constraints.
The silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductor market is undergoing a [...]
Applied Materials has introduced a new suite of semiconductor manufacturing systems, including the Viva radical treatment and Spectral ALD tools, designed to facilitate the industry's transition to 2nm GAA nanosheet transistors. These innovations aim to improve performance and yield for AI chips by reducing electrical resistance and enhancing channel mobility through atomic-scale engineering.
