Tessent Silicon Lifecycle Solutions
Enabling the next step in IC test and monitoring
Product lifecycle management (PLM) is a well-established concept across many industries that aims to manage the entire lifecycle of a product from inception through design, realization, deployment, and field service, right through to end-of-life activities such as final disposal.
More recently, these principles are being applied by the semiconductor industry because electronics continue to permeate further and further into our everyday lives in ways that require new levels of reliability, safety, and security in silicon devices.
The time is right to implement PLM practices in the semiconductor industry, which Siemens calls Silicon Lifecycle Solutions (SLS). This paper explains the drivers and benefits, then describes the elements of the Tessent™ SLS platform.
