What happens after 'I'm sorry': the world of product engineering

摘要

Senior chip designers generally have a good understanding of the whole design flow. Fewer, even among senior designers, can speak with confidence about the tasks that start when silicon appears-the silicon bring-up process. And fewer still can speak comfortably about what happens when the new chip fails to come up properly: the realm we used to call failure analysis. That lack of information needs to change, argue two executives of that world, Presto Engineering's chief executive officer, Michel Villemain, and vice president of engineering, Frank Sauk.
