Bring manufacturing insights
into the next design.
Connect design and manufacturing teams. Predict process outcomes, improve inspection workflows and turn manufacturing insights into knowledge for future product designs.
IDM challenges
A gap between design and manufacturing
Process issues identified during manufacturing provide valuable insights for future designs, but that knowledge can remain disconnected from design teams.
Product-specific inspection and quality management
Logic, memory, power and image sensor products have different defect characteristics, inspection requirements and quality criteria.
Limited visibility before processing
Process outcomes can be difficult to anticipate, increasing dependence on downstream measurements and iterative process tuning.
