DALL-E In the fast-paced world of semiconductor product development, two metrics stand out as pivotal to the success and efficiency of manufacturing: yield and test time. Yield, the percentage of functional chips in a production batch, directly influences the cost-effectiveness and viability of semiconductor products. Simultaneously, test

Thus, creating a large pool of options to choose from while also enabling customers with different feature sets. Ideally, this should be positive news

Photo by John Jemison on Unsplash Developing new consumer and enterprise technology requires a new type of semiconductor technology, ranging from design, raw materials, equipment, packaging, fabrication, manufacturing, and many more segments of semiconductors. These technologies developed are called semiconductor enabling technology. Enabling technology brings a new type of semiconductor

Photo by Glen Carrie on Unsplash New silicon-powered products should have advanced features. These features also have to differentiate from the existing ones. Otherwise, the probability of success in the market will be very low. On the opposite side, the new semiconductor technology development is slowing down due to the

Photo by Thomas Jensen on Unsplash THE IMPACT OF SEMICONDUCTOR CHIPLETS ON DESIGN The process of developing chiplets based silicon chips (mainly XPUs) demands new semiconductor design and manufacturing methods. These methods are not drastically different than what the semiconductor industry developed in the last few decades. Still, the product

Photo by Brian Kostiuk on Unsplash THE REQUIREMENTS OF NEW SEMICONDUCTOR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT The semiconductor industry is driving on top of the products that different companies introduce. These semiconductor products have to go through complex product development procedures to fulfill strict technical and business requirements. That makes the planning and
