About Us
Our Mission
LogicVision provides leading-edge solutions to maximize the yield and economic life of semiconductors throughout the supply chain, by leveraging the power of embedded technology.
Customer satisfaction, profitable growth, teamwork, and a quality work environment form the cornerstone of all we do.
Corporate Profile
LogicVision provides integrated test and yield learning solutions that enable its customer to achieve very high quality metrics, accelerate silicon bring-up, reduce overall cost of test and facilitate yield learning. The company's ET Create products allow designers to embed test and characterization IP directly into a semiconductor device. These embedded test IP operate as "eyes in the die," observing and testing the device. LogicVision's Silicon Insight software interfaces to popular test-platforms or a customer's performance board and interacts with the embedded test IP to enable performance characterization and identify failure mechanisms. LogicVision's Yield Insight software accumulates and analyzes chip tester data in order to automatically identify systemic yield limiting issues.
Together, these three product lines allow customers to achieve very low DPMs (defects per million), drastically reduce silicon bring-up times and learn about potential yield limiting factors in the design and manufacture of semiconductors. The benefits are rapid identification and resolution of design, product, and manufacturing issues, allowing semiconductor companies to achieve the steepest yield learning ramp possible. In addition, the embedded "eyes" allow the user to monitor the chip for defects throughout the life of the chip - from semiconductor manufacturing all the way to field service and repair. The results include maximized quality, faster time to working silicon, lower test costs and enhanced product yield.
This is increasingly critical to the semiconductor industry, as the drawn line width of advanced designs shrinks from 130 nanometers to 65 nanometers and below. Problems of fault detection, extended debug times, and expensive field returns are magnified as complexity increases. LogicVision's yield learning solutions provide the route to improved understanding and fast resolution of these issues.
Ideal for today's highly complex SoC designs, LogicVision solutions are used in the development of semiconductor ICs for products ranging from digital consumer goods to wireless communications devices and satellite systems.
