Podcast EP232: The Evolution of Yield Learning and Silicon Debug with Marc Hutner
Dan is joined by Marc Hutner. Marc has been innovating in the areas of design, test, DFT and data analytics for more than 20 years. In June of 2023, he joined the Siemens EDA Tessent group as the product director of Silicon Learning, enabling how silicon data is applied to yield improvement and silicon debug. Previously, he worked for proteanTecs as senior director of product marketing and Teradyne as a system/silicon architect.
Marc explains how yield learning and silicon debug have evolved in the era of high complexity SoCs and multi-die systems. It turns out understanding how to harness the huge volume of test data available is a big part of a successful strategy. Marc discusses AI, ML and other techniques to improve yield insights that can result in millions of dollars of savings.
He describes the importance of people, processes, and technology and how they all relate to each other and the larger ecosystem for silicon production. He discusses some of the innovations at Siemens EDA and its impact.
