PDF SOLUTIONS San Jose, California Its Technology Helps Clients Yield Big Results From Small Chips.(THE NEW AMERICA)
Byline: MARILYN ALVA
As consumer electronics products become smaller and more versatile, chipmakers are being called on to squeeze more applications on a single chip.
The size of the smallest elements in these chips is going from 130 nanometers to 90 nanometers, or .09 micron. Some cutting-edge firms are developing even smaller versions -- 65 nanometers.
While smaller is better, it makes the work of chipmakers harder. More can go wrong, especially in the manufacturing process.
Enter PDF Solutions. It works with customers well before a new chip goes into production -- even before the final design.
The company's technology helps semiconductor clients come up with designs that enhance output and performance during the manufacturing process. Customers look to PDF to help improve their yields, which is the term used to describe cost of goods sold.
"I call them the yield doctors," said analyst Dennis Wassung of Adams Harkness.
