Secure Movement Of Data In Test
By Ed Sperling - 16 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

Historically, test data flowed out of the tester and was loaded into a file. But with heterogeneous integration, including chiplets and IP from multiple vendors, test data is now being streamed across the manufacturing floor where it can be used to make real-time decisions. Eli Roth, product manager for smart manufacturing at Teradyne, talks with Semiconductor Engineering about challenges in da... » read more

AI/ML Challenges In Test and Metrology
By Gregory Haley - 12 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

The integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) into semiconductor test and metrology is redefining the landscape for chip fabrication, which will be essential at advanced nodes and in increasingly dense advanced packages. Fabs today are inundated by vast amounts of data collected across multiple manufacturing processes, and AI/ML solutions are viewed as essential for... » read more

Adaptive Test Ramps For Data Intelligence Era
By Laura Peters - 08 Feb, 2024 - Comments: 0

Widely available and nearly unlimited compute resources, coupled with the availability of sophisticated algorithms, are opening the door to adaptive testing. But the speed at which this testing approach is adopted will continue to vary due to persistent concerns about data sharing and the potential for IP theft and data leakage. Adaptive testing is all about making timely changes to a test p... » read more

Challenges Of Testing Advanced Packages
By Ed Sperling - 19 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

The number of things that can wrong in assembly and test increases as more chips are added into a package. Testing is the usual guarantor of a reliable device, but in an advanced package there are all sorts of new issues — more contacts, different handling requirements, the necessary thermal conditions for test, and variation within the package. George Harris, vice president of global test se... » read more

Shift Left, Extend Right, Stretch Sideways
By Brian Bailey - 27 Jul, 2023 - Comments: 0

The EDA industry has been talking about shift left for a few years, but development flows are now being stretched in two additional ways, extending right to include silicon lifecycle management, and sideways to include safety and security. In addition, safety and security join verification and power as being vertical concerns, and we are increasingly seeing interlinking within those concerns. ... » read more

The Data Revolution Of Semiconductor Production
By Nitza Basoco - 09 May, 2023 - Comments: 0

During our insightful panel discussion on “The Data Revolution of Semiconductor Production – How Advancements in Technology Unlock New Insights,” we covered several topics including machine learning, edge computing and cloud-based data management. We discussed questions including: Are we creating the right data and doing enough with it? What needs to be done to make data actionable? Ho... » read more

Ramping Up IC Predictive Maintenance
By Anne Meixner - 07 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

The chip industry is starting to add technology that can predict impending failures early enough to stave off serious problems, both in manufacturing and in the field. Engineers increasingly are employing in-circuit monitors embedded in SoC designs to catch device failures earlier in the production flow. But for ICs in the field, data tracing from design to application use only recently has ... » read more

Removing Barriers For End-To-End Analytics
By Anne Meixner - 07 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

Parties are coming together, generating guidelines for sharing data from IC design and manufacturing through end of life, setting the stage for true end-to-end analytics. While the promise of big data analytics is well understood, data sharing through the semiconductor supply chain has been stymied by an inability to link together data sources throughout the lifecycle of a chip, package, or ... » read more

The Importance Of Layering Data
By Ed Sperling - 11 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

The chip industry generates enormous quantities of data, from design through manufacturing, but much of it is unavailable or incomplete. And even when and where it is available, it is frequently under-utilized. While there has been much work done in terms of establishing traceability and data formats, the cross-pollination of data between companies and between equipment makers at various pro... » read more
