The Impact Of AI Automation On Chip Design


Key Takeaways: Tools are currently built with a defined notion of how they will be used. For agentic solutions they will be transformed into collections of callable engines. Agents may be built by EDA companies for design houses or larger design houses may build their own, potentially transforming the EDA business model. The role of engineers will change, but exactly how is not certa... » read more

Verification Experts Vs. Generalists


Experts At The Table: As chips and systems become more complicated, more verification tasks get abstracted. So do we need more specialists who are experts in specific tasks, or do we need more generalists who know how to use the tools but don't necessarily have the depth of understanding? Or do we need some way to balance both? Semiconductor Engineering sat down with a panel of experts, includi... » read more
