SUMMARY:Women in TechWorks Webinar:  From root-cause to right-first-Time: Using proactive failure analysis to accelerate innovation
DESCRIPTION:Failure analysis has long been seen as a forensic science – a way to diagnose what went wrong after a product fails. \nBut what if we moved this expertise upstream? \nIn this talk\, I’ll share how traditional failure analysis techniques can be transformed from post-mortem tools into powerful methods for preventing failures in product and process development. \nBiography\nSuzanne Costello is a physicist and engineer who has spent her career uncovering the hidden stories inside materials. \nAfter graduating from Heriot-Watt University with a Master’s in Physics\, she earned an Engineering Doctorate in Microsystems Engineering. \nHer doctoral work on hermeticity testing led to the publication of a technical book that remains a reference in the field. \nFollowing her doctorate\, Suzanne transitioned directly into a role with her industry partner where she quickly excelled and ultimately rose to a leadership position. \nThis experience gave her deep insights into both the technical and commercial sides of the electronics industry. \nAlong the way\, Suzanne also became the first female Chair of IMAPS-UK\, championing collaboration and knowledge-sharing within the microelectronics community. \nShe founded Forensic Eyes to blend proactive and reactive failure analysis\, integrated product development support\, and tailored technical training to help engineers build more reliable products. \nWhen she’s not in the lab or leading a workshop\, Suzanne enjoys sharing her experience of being a woman in technology\, celebrating the progress made\, recognising the challenges that remain\, and inspiring others to see failure not as the end of a story\, but as the beginning of understanding.

Such technologies often only implement N-type transistors and thus require pull-up logic\, which is very inefficient in terms of energy. \nAdiabatic logic was proposed as a low power technology several decades ago. The underlying principle is that logic gates should only be turned on as they are needed and not turned off when they are active. This is achieved by using the clock\, or multiple clock phases\, as the power supply for logic gates. Adiabatic logic designs have been proposed that use both NMOS and PMOS transistors\, but designs that use only NMOS transistors are possible. In order to achieve the promised energy efficiency\, however\, such circuits are very slow compared with modern CMOS technologies\, which means that adiabatic logic has never achieved widespread acceptance. On the other hand\, modern flexible electronics operate at relatively low frequencies. Thus\, adiabatic logic may prove to be an appropriate technique for low power design in these technologies. \nIn this talk we will look at how adiabatic logic can be implemented in an N-type technology. We will look at some circuit designs and show that the energy-efficient clock speeds of adiabatic logic are compatible with the clock speeds achievable in flexible electronics. Nevertheless\, formidable design challenges exist. Existing design tools are not compatible with adiabatic design styles. Signal paths need to be carefully balanced in order that the correct clock phases activate logic in sequence. In principle\, some energy recovery is possible in adiabatic circuits\, but we need to consider on-chip energy storage. \nPeter Birch\nHardware Lead Engineer\, Fractile \nPeter Birch is a Hardware Lead Engineer at Fractile\, working in the silicon team to deliver industry leading throughput and efficiency for AI inference workloads.

He has produced\, 25 US Patents and 14 IEEE publications. \nCollaborative Ecosystem as a key enabler of AI Driven Wafer Scale Data-Centres Research \nAt IMEC Cambridge UK\, we are currently involved in the pathfinding research of the xTCO in the domain of AI workload driven compute systems. Next-generation systems will need to handle AI models with over 100 trillion parameters or more\, driving an exponential increase in compute capacity demand. The power requirements of these systems are skyrocketing. Data centres consume between 2% and 3% of the world’s electricity (approx. 400 Terawatts)\, according to the International Energy Agency. AI enabling data-centres can consume a massive power of at least 500MW which is enough electricity to supply two million homes. As put forth by Feryal Clark\, Minister for AI\, “Just like coal and steam powered our past\, AI is powering the future. A significant portion of this energy is consumed by the data movement between isolated racks within data centres. Wafer-scale compute (WFC) aims to reduce this power consumption by integrating and packing compute and memory elements as close as possible. The key integration challenges in a WFC are driven by embedded memories which can be an SRAM\, DRAM or any other form of emerging memories\, in the orders of Terabytes\, achieving latencies in the order of Petabytes/second\, power delivery through vertical power delivery systems at high voltages with 500V to 1V integrated voltage converters in the order of 5 to 10Watts/mm2 and thermal extraction of a similar order. Advanced packaging is therefore another challenge due to heterogeneous integration of chiplets\, which involves advanced materials and their fusion with silicon e.g. Glass\, GaN etc. and is now playing a critical role in system design. Apart from advanced materials\, advanced packaging also involves new technologies like TSVs and hybrid bonding and their associated modelling for design co-optimization. IMEC pathfinding research has played a vital role in advancing the industry leading technology roadmap e.g. Gate-All-Around transistors\, Back-Side power delivery and continues to do so atleast with a decade margin between the conception and the productization. To convert brilliant but challenging ideas into successful products\, collaborative framework is pivotal at Imec. Imec Cambridge UK has been established to enable such a collaborative framework with UK Academia\, Start-ups and Industries to enable AI workload driven compute system. Our talk is aimed at the audience who are facing similar challenges in the field of wafer scale compute and see a value addition in such a collaborative framework with Imec.OUTLINE AGENDA \n\n\n\n\n\nTIME\nDETAILS\n\n\n\n\n09:00\nRegistration\n\n\n10:00\nTechWorks DESN Introduction – Scene setting and objectives\n\n\n10:10\nTHEME: The Future of Digital Design \nAs product roadmaps grow more demanding\, the design challenges are intensifying.

SUMMARY:TechWorks AI Webinar: Best practices for developing AI systems
DESCRIPTION:With Dr. William Jones\, Head of AI\, Embecosm\nThis webinar introduces the Techworks Best Practices in AI Guide\, a structured\, living reference to help teams plan and execute AI and ML projects. \nThe guide is organised around five core questions that capture the essential phases of an AI initiative\, from project definition through deployment. \nEach question is broken into a sequence of concrete tasks\, with explicit requirements and evidence metrics to track progress. \nWe’ll walk through: \n– The conceptual framing of the guide and its role as a continuous tool (not just a one-off checklist) \n– How the five major questions ensure comprehensive coverage of design\, development\, and deployment phases \n– The task tables: how to interpret them\, decide which tasks are optional\, and use the ‘evidence / done’ structure for accountability \n– Best practices for iterating back through earlier steps as insights emerge \nAttendees will finish with a clear understanding of how to apply this methodology in their own AI/ML projects and how to structure decision-making\, track progress\, and ensure no critical phase is overlooked.

SUMMARY:Building Resilient and Cyber Secure FPGA Systems in an Adversarial World
DESCRIPTION:In today’s hyper-connected\, adversarial digital landscape\, the resilience and security of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are no longer just engineering challenges\, they are regulatory\, legal\, and reputational imperatives.A system is resilient if\, and only if\, there is justifiable and enduring confidence that it will function as expected\, when expected. This is the baseline of trust in modern technology.But resilience alone is not enough. A system is secure when it can sustain this performance under direct adversarial pressure. When that adversary is remote\, persistent\, and capable of leveraging the vast cyber domain\, we call this cyber security. \nSecurity is not optional \, it is mandated by law. Increasingly\, regulatory bodies around the world are enforcing strict standards\, and the penalties for non-compliance are not limited to fines.There is a real and growing risk of parallel criminal and civil proceedings arising from the same cyber security failure\, placing immense responsibility on engineers\, designers\, and decision-makers to implement effective\, demonstrable security controls. \nThis FPGA-focused event will equip you with the knowledge\, techniques\, and assurance frameworks necessary to design systems that are not only resilient and secure—but demonstrably so. \nWho Should Attend: \n\nFPGA Designers and Engineers\nSystem Architects\nSafety and Security Specialists\nSupply Chain Professionals\nIndustry Regulators and Standards Bodies\n\nWhy Attend? \n\nGain insights from leading experts on the evolving risks and mitigation strategies\nLearn how to meet functional safety and security requirements across multiple industries\nNetwork with industry peers and potential collaborators\nParticipate in discussions on best practices\, regulatory trends\, and real-world case studies
