How AI is optimizing the IC test process – Part 1

Microchips are an integral part of modern society, controlling devices big and small, simple and complex. Designing these chips isn’t a simple process by any means but equally so, fabricating and verifying completed parts is not only incredibly complex, but a vital step in the manufacturing process. Cutting edge microchips are so expensive to manufacture that improving yields by even 1% can represent multi-million dollar improvements in revenue.

In this podcast, host Spencer Acain is joined by Ron Press, Senior Director of Technology Enablement at Siemens Digital Industries to explore the ways he and his team are applying AI and ML in Tessent, a key tool in the chip verification and design process. Additionally, Ron explains the importance of testing and why the process takes so well to AI/ML.

In this episode you will learn:

  • What is Tessent? (1:04)
  • Applications of AI/ML in Tessent (5:58)
  • What makes IC verification a good fit for machine learning? (8:56)
