Podcast EP324: How Dassault is Creating the Next Generation of Semiconductor Design and Manufacturing with John Maculley
Daniel is joined by John Maculley, Global High-Tech Industry Strategy Consultant at Dassault Systèmes. John has over 20 years of experience advancing innovation across the semiconductor and electronics sectors. Based in Silicon Valley, he works with leading foundries, OSATs, design houses, and research institutes worldwide to accelerate technology co-optimization and strengthen ecosystem resilience.
In this informative and forward-looking discussion, Dan explores the evolving focus on what kind of IP is curated and leveraged in the semiconductor industry with John, who describes knowledge and know-how as the new strategic differentiating IP for many companies. He explains why the ability to codify and curate this information across the enterprise is becoming quite valuable. John describes how IP management is now shifting to governance and intelligence, and with AI-augmented IP engineers can now design with a focus on manufacturability.
John discusses many other benefits of the work Dassault is doing to facilitate an AI-augmented future for the semiconductor industry. Methods to capture institutional knowledge and make it available to all members of the team are discussed. The impact to design productivity for advanced 3DIC systems is significant.
