Overview

Semiconductor Engineering is an American trade publication founded in 2013 that covers chip design, verification, manufacturing and packaging for an audience of practising engineers and industry executives. It publishes technical articles, interviews with tool and foundry vendors, and analysis of process nodes, advanced packaging, low-power design and design automation, alongside a knowledge base of reference material on semiconductor topics. The site is run by a small editorial team, funded by sponsorship from equipment and design software companies, and is widely read across the semiconductor supply chain.
