Abstract :
From a dizzying array of emerging "smart" niche end-products, to major market trend shifts, to ecosystem reconfigurations at every level, the semiconductor industry is morphing at an unprecedented pace. The move from planar to FinFET transistors on top of the shift from scale complexity to systemic complexity-all coupled with challenges in power, performance, reliability and more-demand a level of systemic collaboration from silicon to software as never seen before. The good news is that we\´re up for it! In his presentation, Aart will give an overview of how the breadth and depth of competence across the ecosystem is enabling modern design, including test, diagnosis, and yield optimization solutions to keep up with that most amazing of races: Moore\´s Law.
