Microchips are an integral part of modern society,

controlling devices big and small, simple and complex. Designing these chips

isn’t a simple process by any means but equally so, fabricating and verifying

completed parts is not only incredibly complex, but a vital step in the

manufacturing process. Cutting edge microchips are so expensive to manufacture

that improving yields by even 1% can represent multi-million dollar

improvements in revenue.

In this podcast, host Spencer Acain is joined by Ron Press, Senior

Director of Technology Enablement at Siemens Digital Industries to explore the

ways he and his team are applying AI and ML in Tessent, a key tool in the chip

verification and design process. Additionally, Ron explains the importance of

testing and why the process takes so well to AI/ML.
