compiles full scan vectors in real-time
You insert scan chains into silicon logic and generate automated test patterns for chip verification and wafer sorting.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still intuitively diagnose why a specific timing path fails in a real-world environment.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 4
Smart agents start writing your standard test constraints for you.
Month 5
Synthesis tools now automatically handle all scan chain path optimizations.
Month 10
Cloud-based models run all fault coverage simulations in parallel.
Month 14
Hardware labs use vision-guided probes to verify silicon without help.
Month 20 · D-Day
The chip architecture verifies itself; your role is formally deleted.
