AI-Enhanced RF/Mixed-Signal Circuits for Reliable Operations IEEE SSCS Distinguished Lecturer Prof. Vanessa Chen Abstract: AI-driven design and optimization are revolutionizing RF and mixed-signal circuits for operation in extreme environments, including high radiation and wide temperature ranges. This talk explores the use of reinforcement learning (RL) and generative models to improve circuit robustness and adaptability. RL-based […]

We are in the midst of an artificial intelligence (AI) revolution. It may seem that AI development is recent, but the term AI was coined (1955) not too long after the invention of computing devices. However, the idea that a machine can behave like a human being is even older. The term “automaton” was used […]

Location: Cadence Design Systems, Bldg 5, 2655 Seely Ave., San Jose, CA Registration link will bring you to the options of the Paid workshop but also to the Free Exhibit/TC events 2025 Silicon Valley Area Workshop on […]

Abstract: Semiconductor Tool maintenance is a complex task due to process complexity, process integration challenges, and customer requirements. Historically, maintenance strategies have been reactive due to these complexities. Applied Materials has been focused on moving from a generally reactive method of reacting to tool issues to prescriptive methods of maintaining process equipment. This migration is […]
