The commercialization of chiplets will significantly boost the potential for attacks on hardware, requiring a much broader set of security measures and processes at every level of the supply chain, including traceability from initial design to end of life. Much progress has been made in recent years on security measures, including everything from identifying unusual data traffic inside a chip to complex obfuscation techniques.

EDA vendors are taking aim at new ways to improve the productivity of design and verification engineers, who are struggling to keep pace with exponential increases in chip complexity in tight time-to-market windows and with constrained engineering talent pipelines. In the past, progress often was as straightforward as improving algorithms or parallelizing computations in a linear flow. But with the latest generations of leading-edge chips, much has changed.

The EDA industry reported substantial revenue growth in Q4 2024, up 11% to $4.9 billion from $4.44 billion reported in the same quarter of 2023, according to the ESD Alliance, a SEMI Technology Community, announced Monday in its latest Electronic Design Market Data (EDMD) report. The four-quarter moving average, which compares the most recent four quarters to the prior four, rose 12.8%. Walden C.

The semiconductor industry is buzzing with the benefits of chiplets, including faster time to market, better performance, and lower power, but finding the correct balance between customization and standardization is proving to be more difficult than initially thought. For a commercial chiplet marketplace to really take off, it requires a much deeper understanding of how chiplets behave individually and together.
