4o What Is Semiconductor Productization Cycle Time? Semiconductor productization cycle time refers to the total duration required to transform a completed chip design into a fully qualified, production-ready product. It begins after the design is taped out and ends when the product is released to high-volume manufacturing with acceptable yield, quality, and system-level reliability. This period involves intensive cross-functional collaboration across silicon engineering, packaging, test development, validation, reliability, and supply chain. The cycle is not a single step but a structured series of technical handoffs, optimizations, and problem-solving phases. Each contributes to overall time-to-market and has a direct impact on cost, quality, and revenue generation. The key components of the productization cycle include: Depending on the complexity of the product and the target market, this cycle can […]
