Have you ever touched a freshly baked smartphone chip? That silicon wafer the size of a fingernail is now a hot potato. According to Siemens EDA’s latest data, the global chip yield rate has halved for the first time—plummeting from 24% two years ago to just 14% now, more shocking than your child’s declining monthly … Read more
Recently, I was asked a question: why has the tape-out success rate (hit rate) of chip design companies been declining year by year from 2020 to 2024? Here, the success rate is defined as the ability to achieve a certain volume of mass production within a period after tape-out. After all, the purpose of tape-out … Read more
