Why the First Tape-Out Success Rate of Chips Has Significantly Decreased

(This article is translated from Semiconductor Engineering) As the complexity of chips continues to increase, chip manufacturers are shifting from single-chip designs to multi-chip components, requiring more iterations, and the increasing level of customization makes design and verification work more time-consuming. Consequently, the first tape-out success rate of chips is sharply declining. Details from a … Read more
