Presentation Title
“Embracing A.I in the Semiconductor Value Chain to optimize test cost and improve yield outcome”
Abstract
Global semiconductor business took 50 years to reach $500B but will take less than 10 years to double to $1T, forecasted by 2030. A.I is one of the catalyst in driving the exponential growth in Semiconductor contents.
This presentation will show the potential of deploying A.I in early detection in the semiconductor value chain to provide predictable product yield outcome, quality & reliability control. It also discuss some use cases in semiconductor manufacturing applications and the challenges.
Partners collaboration is necessary to unleash the full power of A.I across the manufacturing value chain with current state segmented by Design enablement, Silicon fabrication, Test and Packaging due to different ownerships and the resulting IP protection challenges. A common platform and standard will need to be established to facilitate A.I integration across the value chain.
