TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) is the world’s largest dedicated independent semiconductor foundry and one of the largest companies in Taiwan. It manufactures lots of different semiconductor products, with node sizes ranging from 130 micrometers all the way down to 3 nanometers.
Over the course of 2021, TSMC has
This article focuses on the various stages of SoC development. In a typical SoC development, there are many steps that are highly dependent and linked to each other. SoC design flow works on multiple optimization goals and constraints and therefore requires various SoC development skills and EDA tools.
