The aggressive demand for high performance devices in the areas of AI/ML, compute, 5G & datacentres have rapidly driven the pace of semiconductor integration densities. With Moore's law showing signs of slowing down, the need to pack more transistors in a device is no longer met only by technology & process shrinks. Larger dies increase capacity but bring variability and unpredictability in yield. 3D-IC technology provides a solution to this concern by integrating die or chiplets adjacent or stacked vertically. Like any new technology area, 3D integration comes with its own kitty of design and test challenges. This talk will share interesting insights in to some of these challenges and solutions proposed in Industry to circumvent them. The focus of this presentation would be to understand the new techniques & standards to target 3D-IC manufacturing testability and achieve high quality at manageable cost.

As a technologist with extensive experience in handling complex ASIC & Multi-chip SoCs, his passion is to drive highest Quality Test using most innovative solutions in areas of Architecture, Design, Debug & Silicon Diagnosis. Srijesh has a Bachelor degree in Electronics & Communications from Bangalore University.
Increasing performance demands associated with today's advanced technologies has created unprecedented challenges in both DFT and production analytics. This means that when it comes to dealing the sheer volume of silicon data involved in efficient test deployment and device optimization traditional, manual approaches are no longer adequate. This issue is also being exhibited by the emerging engineering talent shortage. The application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) throughout the EDA stack has emerged as a game-changing solution that provides increased test automation and delivers results almost impossible to achieve with manual efforts. This presentation focuses on pioneering AI-driven test and production analytics solutions from Synopsys' Test and Silicon Lifecycle Management (SLM) product families that automatically achieve the best test QoR and time-to-market while enabling the optimization of silicon health and production and operational metrics as part of a unified analytics environment.

She has received multiple organizational awards, authored several papers and publications at various conferences like ITC, ATS, ETS etc
Semiconductors are ubiquitous but mostly hidden. They underlie the fabric of our modern lives, powering everything from cell phones to automobiles, washing machines to the largest airplanes. It is difficult to believe that the history of semiconductors spans less than one hundred year. It is equally difficult to believe the complexity that these marvels of technology hide. In this talk we go over this brief history, highlighting the major players. We she some light on the complexity and what makes this complexity possible. Finally, we try to peep into the future to see what it holds
