Presentation Title
The Future of Product & Test is Agentic
Agentic AI beyond being a buzzword AI is now rapidly transforming the landscape of semiconductor manufacturing, product engineering, and yield management by enabling new avenues for intelligent automation and adaptive decision-making throughout the production process. These advanced AI systems have the potential to autonomously identify process inefficiencies, optimize design parameters, and anticipate yield losses, resulting in improved manufacturing outcomes and enhanced product reliability.
This talk delves into the application of agentic workflows to augment traditional yield and test time improvement strategies in semiconductor manufacturing. By leveraging the autonomous and adaptive capabilities of agentic AI, the presentation explores forward-looking solutions to achieve greater efficiency and unlock innovative methodologies for yield and test operations.
