Detecting Chemical Variability At Advanced Nodes


Key Takeaways Yield loss is increasingly driven by molecular variability in thin films, interfaces, and contamination rather than visible defects. Reliability issues often appear first as parametric drift or margin erosion under workload and thermal stress. Detection requires correlating molecular metrology, embedded electrical telemetry, and AI-driven wafer inspection. As s... » read more

Simulate Faster with SimAI Software for High Returns at a Low Cost of Ownership


While the value of engineering simulation has been proven for decades, only a small percentage of engineers report using artificial intelligence (AI) to amplify their simulation results at scale. However, AI has the potential to make large-scale simulations even faster, more precise, and more cost-effective. AI-enabled simulation not only amplifies the performance and returns of simulatio... » read more

How The EDA Industry Will Evolve In 2026


AI will continue to impact every facet of the EDA industry. Pressure will mount in 2026 on design teams to drive productivity gains while technical complexity continues to escalate.
