As SEMI works on the Smart Data-AI initiative, Teradyne embraces “Open Architecture,” rolling out a real-time analytics product for testing that can cleanly interface with the rest of the design and manufacturing flow.

What’s at stake:
Using AI as a tool is an idea broadly embraced in the semiconductor industry. But putting AI into practice needs validated data easily shared within the flow of design, testing and manufacturing. Stakes are high for an industry that must now forced to handle data coming from many sources in different forms.
The semiconductor industry’s quest for consistent data is foremost in discussions at the Semicon West and Design Automation Conference this week in San Francisco.
