Handle with care: Power and perils of compound semiconductors
In the realm of advanced electronics and photonics, compound semiconductors are the silent enablers of breakthrough performance in many applications. Built from materials like indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) or gallium arsenide (GaAs), these semiconductors enable applications that are beyond the capabilities of silicon devices. Examples include avalanche photodiodes (APDs) for ultra-sensitive infrared detection at eye-safe…
Unlocking compound semiconductor manufacturing’s potential requires yield management
This article is the second in a series from PDF Solutions on why adopting big data platforms will transform the compound semiconductor industry. The first part “Accelerating silicon carbide (SiC) manufacturing with big data platforms” was recently published on EDN. Compound semiconductors such as SiC are revolutionizing industries with their ability to handle high-power, high-frequency,…
The Shift from Models to Compound AI Systems
AI caught everyone’s attention in 2023 with Large Language Models (LLMs) that can be instructed to perform general tasks, such as translation or coding, just by prompting. This naturally led to an intense focus on models as the primary ingredient in AI application development, with everyone wondering what capabilities new LLMs will bring. As more…
