The 28nm Twilight Zone
April 30, 2012
The 28nm node has created a 'twilight zone' for mixed signal designers, says Ravi Subramanian, CEO of Berkeley Design Automation (BDA).
BDA supplies 16 out of the world's top 20 semiconductor companies and all of the top five companies with mixed signal design tools.
The pressures to shrink have never been greater. "Half of all designs will be below 65nm this year and 60% of fab capacity will be under 40nm," says Subramanian. Demand for 28nm has surprised everyone.
