Target Audience

AnySilicon targets ASIC/IC engineers and managers, fabless companies, IDMs and individuals interested in learning more about semiconductors and the realization of ASICs.

Content

We offer two broad content categories – technical and marketing/business.

Technical articles provide readers with a general overview or technical explanations of topics related to ASIC implementation, methods, and new technologies. For example: how would one select a probe card for production testing; what are the benefits of 3D packages; what is MIM cap and when should it be used? ASIC design tips? and so on. Other articles may help readers in various decision points, such as: selecting BGA or QFN, foundry A or B, 65nm or 40nm, multi-site testing vs single-site etc.

Marketing/Business oriented articles focus on the business side of the semiconductor industry. An article can provide, for example, a forecast or an analysis of trends in the semiconductor market; insight into emerging business models, such as: ASIC vs. COT; observations regarding the impact of new trends, players, market events, etc.

Copyright issues

All content should be original and you should own the copyrights. If your article has already been published elsewhere, and the publisher holds the copyright, make sure you have permission to publish your content on AnySilicon.com.

Additional Tips
