EDFAS FA Technology Roadmap

Lesly Endrinal, Silicon Failure Analysis Engineering Lead at Google, recently shared profound insights on semiconductor Failure Analysis  and championed the EDFAS FA technology roadmap in an enlightening article on Semiconductor Engineering -  https://semiengineering.com/failure-to-launch/

In the article, Lesly emphasized the critical role of FA in the semiconductor industry, particularly as devices become more complex and advanced packaging solutions are adopted. She highlighted the challenges faced in defect detection and prevention, especially with the introduction of new materials and analog components at the leading edge and legacy nodes. Lesly also discussed the importance of leveraging AI and machine learning for root cause analysis and automated failure classification, which are pivotal in addressing the intricacies of modern semiconductor designs.

Lesly's advocacy for the EDFAS FA technology roadmap is a testament to her commitment to advancing the FA field. The FA Roadmap, developed by a collaborative effort of over 50 experts from leading organizations, aims to address the current and future challenges in FA. It provides a comprehensive guide to the industry's needs and outlines strategic solutions to enhance FA capabilities.

Her insights and the FA technology roadmap underscore the necessity of proactive Design for Test, Diagnosis, and Debug (DFTDD) strategies, real-time monitoring, predictive diagnostics, and AI-driven data analytics to ensure yield reliability and improve defect detection.

Lesly's contributions are not only advancing the FA field but also fostering a collaborative approach to solving industry-wide challenges, making her a true FA Rockstar!
