Presentation
The Evolution of the Digital Twin in Semiconductor design, and the central role AI plays
DescriptionDepending on who you talk with the Digital Twin is either the newest thing in semiconductor, or something that semiconductor has always had. The truth is that both are true. Semiconductor has long relied on domain specific Digital Twins of different aspects of the design in order to design, test, and integrate in the virtual world before committing to manufacture. Starting with the Siemens acquisition of EDA, but now being talked about more widely, we now talk about the Comprehensive Digital Twin of the design, which attempts to more completely capture the design and allow analysis using not only traditional EDA but also Multiphysics. This is just the beginning however, as we are already moving towards the merging of the Design Digital Twin, with the Manufacturing Digital Twin to enable closed loop manufacturing aware design.
This evolution brings with it new challenges of exponentially increasing complexity, and multiple disparate engineering domains that need to work together. It is here where AI is coming to the rescue to help guide where engineers need to focus their effort, encapsulate domain knowledge that they need to perform a task, and transform data between different domains either directly or via surrogate models.
In this presentation we will explore the way this evolution has affected IC and product design tools, the benefits it has brough to design teams, what the future holds, and how closed-loop manufacturing aware design will bring in a new era of design.
