Measurement in the HBM era: The key is whether the measurement changes the signal.
Published2026.05.22 13:43According to Mohamed Hafed, CEO of Introspect Technology, who presented next-generation DDR/LPDDR memory analysis solution (Introspect) at the e4ds & Jays webinar on May 19, the core of HBM and next-generation memory measurement is a probing structure that does not distort signals and traffic analysis based on actual operation. JEDEC standard-based command and timing verification, frequency and clock change detection, and accurate measurement location and calibration procedures are essential elements for precise analysis.

820 trillion won super budget focused on AI, semiconductors, and power grids
The government is compiling a 820 trillion won super budget for 2027 and concentrating finances on industrial policy that positions AI, semiconductors, and power grids as national growth drivers. Large-scale investments are being made in frontier AI development, AIDC ecosystem, manufacturing AI, physical AI, and autonomous vehicle demonstration projects, while finances are also being allocated to semiconductor special accounting and the southwestern region cluster. In particular, power grid expansion is emerging as a near-term beneficiary sector with full-scale deployment of ESS and substations. However, considerable uncertainty exists in execution as many projects depend on legislative amendments and semiconductor market conditions, and budget growth rates are projected to peak in 2027 and subsequently slow.

Applied Materials Targets 'Memory Wall' in AI Era...Presents Solutions Across D-RAM, HBM, and Packaging
In the artificial intelligence (AI) era, semiconductor industry competition hinges on 'data movement' rather than 'computation'. As AI models grow larger, power consumption and memory bottlenecks emerge as critical issues limiting system performance. Against this backdrop, Applied Materials is putting forward a strategy to support next-generation AI semiconductor performance, power efficiency, and productivity improvements by leading with an integrated portfolio spanning D-RAM device innovation through HBM (high-bandwidth memory), hybrid bonding, and co-packaged optics (CPO).
