The semiconductor industry is losing billions of dollars ever year because of this obscure little quirk
Semiconductor fabs may be losing hundreds of millions annually to poorly understood stochastic defects. These microscopic imperfections in chip manufacturing have become a critical bottleneck as the industry pushes toward smaller process nodes below 5nm. Unlike systematic defects that follow predictable patterns, stochastic defects appear randomly during fabrication, causing catastrophic yield losses that evade traditional […]
