binding behind private IP usage will
prevail for most commercial designs.
Also, innovation and differentiation
always come with a premium, and those
who have the power to pay more will
likely be able to get a return on their
investment.
Lu Dai: The industry has widely
accepted open-source software.
Open-source IP is a more recent
development. It remains to be seen
whether open-source IP will succeed
similarly to its software counterpart,
especially in the new CHIPS Act landscape. While it improves IP quality,
the biggest benefit of open-source IP is
enabling smaller/newer companies to
compete with established bellwethers,
in this case, newcomers from China.
Semiconductor Digest: What lies
ahead for EDA tools considering
growing export restrictions?
Manuel Rei: AI will revolutionize
EDA automation, requiring export
restrictions based on geopolitical
options, as the same advanced node
equipment makers have today. This
will push non-US EDA companies to
explore alternative design solutions.
It is usually when you have no other
choice but to survive that the most
ingenuous solutions arise.
Lastly, due to the complexity of the
product development chain (systems
of systems of systems) and the need
for the final product OEM to master
their product innovation and differentiation, the design, integration, and
management of semiconductor IP
will require key software applications
sharing the same ecosystem (design
platform) to enhance and speed up
collaboration throughout the entire
value chain.
Lu Dai: Security is an increasingly
important subject given the amount
of data in the cloud, concerns about
supply chain traceability, and the
advancement in quantum computing.
Newer algorithms are needed.
Traceability could become mandatory. But we need to watch out to
ensure overhead is not overbearing,
especially when different national
authorities require different solutions.
Semiconductor Digest: Thank you.
Teradyne Analytics Solution Brings Real-Time
Analysis to Semiconductor Test Flow
Teradyne , a leading supplier
of automated test solutions,
launched Teradyne Archimedes analytics solution, an open architecture
that brings real-time analytics to
semiconductor test, optimizing test
flow and yield, and lowering costs—
while reducing the security risks
present with cloud-based solutions.
“Demand for higher-quality
semiconductor devices that use
advanced processes is increasing the
complexity of semiconductor manufacturing—and only comprehensive
test and analytics solutions can help
address this,” said Regan Mills, vice
president of marketing and general
manager, Semiconductor Test Division,
Teradyne. “Offering an open architecture that lets our customers choose
the most effective data analytics solutions for their environment, Teradyne
Archimedes helps identify failures and

their root causes, allowing corrective
actions to be taken, both before and
during high-volume manufacturing.”
As part of a greater technology
ecosystem, Teradyne Archimedes
integrates seamlessly with leading
data analytics platforms, speeding
time to analysis.
“Exensio Advanced Insights for
Manufacturing is a secure, scalable,
configurable, analytics and AI
platform specifically designed
to handle rapid decision-making
in a high-volume production
environment, including the edge
deployment of Exensio AI inference
engine,” said Said Akar, general
manager, Exensio, PDF Solutions.
“Teradyne Archimedes analytics
solution extends the benefits of
our system’s data and machine
learning capabilities to Teradyne’s
global customer base in automated
semiconductor test.”
“The challenge of maintaining
security and data integrity has never
been more critical,” said Uzi Baruch,
chief strategy officer, proteanTecs. “The
combination of Teradyne Archimedes
analytics solution with proteanTecs deep
data analytics enables telemetry-based
insights that add immeasurable value to
semiconductor test. The integration of
our ML-driven cloud and edge software
into Teradyne’s open analytics development environment delivers a new
level of device visibility to meet the
surging performance, power and
reliability requirements of advanced
systems.”
Secure edge solution
While rich in functionality, today’s
analytics solutions employ diverse
data formats, specifications, and
