Lucas and Luna sit down at a lab bench cluttered with oscilloscopes and prototype boards to talk about the engineering decisions that shape the chips powering modern life. Each episode takes one piece of hardware — a new RISC-V core, a GaN power amplifier, a MEMS accelerometer — and examines its design trade-offs, yield challenges, and market positioning. They discuss why Intel’s 20A node matters ... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

On-Chip Electrochemical Sensors for Real-Time Water Quality
Q: What makes this sensor approach economically viable for low-resource settings?
The design integrates core electronics on a single chip and uses a low-cost, disposable electrode array with post-processing, enabling a sub-$5 disposable sensor and a reader compatible with a smartphone, plus a calibration routine to ensure accuracy, which collectively lowers per-test cost and logistics barriers.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Podcast

What is This Podcast about and what kind of topics does it cover?

Technical deep-dives into semiconductor design, manufacturing, and packaging anchor this show. Two engineers—lucidly named Lucas and Luna—build episodes around a single hardware topic, from chiplets and advanced packaging to GaN, MLCCs, lithography, and reliability. The conversations mix hands-on, component-level detail with system implications like thermal budgeting, software compatibility, onshoring, and supply-chain risk, offering practical takeaways for designers choosing between FPGA and ASIC paths, or evaluating manufacturing options and supplier ecosystems. Notably, the format leans into careful, data-informed discussions rather than hot takes, often pairing architectural trade-offs with market dynamics (CHIPS Act subsidies, onshorin... more
