What Percentage of Chips Succeed on the First Tape-Out?

What Percentage of Chips Succeed on the First Tape-Out?

The integrated circuit design field is facing a severe reality. Only about 20% of ASIC chips succeed on their first tape-out. A significant reason for the high failure rate is that the challenges brought by new process nodes have not been fully understood. While some long-standing issues have been integrated into design tools and processes, … Read more
