xSPI-MC block diagram

SPI, invented some four decades ago, is so successful as a low-pin-count interface for microcontrollers and processor cores that it spurred memory makers to incorporate both the physical signaling interface and advanced memory command protocols into serial flash and serial pseudo-SRAM (PSRAM) devices. Those protocols, … Read More

Beyond Tool Interoperability The Emerging Governed Convergence Problem in Semiconductor Design

By Dr. Moh Kolbehdari

The semiconductor industry has spent decades optimizing tools. Today, however, the central challenge is no longer whether individual tools are powerful enough. The real question is whether increasingly specialized tools, domains, models, and organizations can still converge coherently into a manufacturable,… Read More

From Point Solutions to Agentic AI Ecosystems: Semiconductor Process Control Depends on Its Past

From Point Solutions to Agentic AI Ecosystems: Semiconductor Process Control Depends on Its Past
by Kalar Rajendiran on 05-11-2026 at 10:00 am

Agentic AI Natural Language Interaction with Analytics

Agentic AI is often presented as a revolutionary shift in semiconductor manufacturing, driven by large language models and generative AI. However, this framing overlooks an important reality: today’s advances are built on decades of prior work. As Jonathan Holt of PDF Solutions emphasizes in his recent keynote at the APCM 2026Read More
