We’re hiring an Electron Optics Engineer in Milpitas, CA.

At PDF Solutions, our eProbe electron beam inspection systems help semiconductor fabs ramp yield and control manufacturing. This role leads the design and simulation of those systems, from concept to high volume manufacturing.

Some of what you'll do:
✅ Simulate electron optics columns and validate models against experimental data
✅ Develop new column operating modes and improve column architecture
✅ Define specs, error budgets, and acceptance tests for critical components
✅ Work with software, systems, electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing teams

What we’re looking for:
✅ PhD in Physics, EE, ME, Materials Science, or a related field, plus 5+ years of experience
✅ Proven track record designing and operating electron beam columns
✅ Proficiency with tools like SIMION, MEBS, and COMSOL
✅ Experience with high vacuum systems and semiconductor manufacturing tools

SemiWiki.com analyst Lauro Rizzatti has released a report on the PDF Solutions CONNET 2026 event in San Francisco and wrote up his takeaways.

What stood out to him:
✅ Exensio Aurora got its first public demos, built to scale analytics beyond the limits of traditional BI tools.
✅ LLMs build analytical workflows that engineers can inspect, save and reuse.
✅ Customers including Samsung, Intel, STMicroelectronics and Unimicron shared their own results.

His closing point matches how we think about it. AI’s value in semiconductor manufacturing will be measured by faster diagnosis, better equipment utilization and decisions engineers can understand and trust.

That is the standard we hold ourselves to at PDF Solutions.

Thank you to our customers, partners and guests for making CONNECT 2026 a great two days. 🙌

At the Smart Manufacturing Reception and Live Poster Session during SEMICON West, our team shared two projects at the Smart Manufacturing Pavilion.

Luong Ngo, Solutions Engineer at PDF Solutions, presented machine learning-based etch rate prediction and virtual metrology on dry etch, developed with Yoann Goasduff of EM Microelectronic.

DAVID HARRISON, Technical Product Manager at PDF Solutions, presented responsible agentic AI for standards-based semiconductor equipment integration.

Different topics. One shared goal: smarter, more reliable manufacturing.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, asked great questions, and swapped ideas with us. We loved every conversation.

Moore’s law is slowing, and the data now proves it.

At our annual conference, Jonathan Koomey of Koomey Analytics gave a keynote on what comes next for computing. He shared early results from a new CPU and GPU processor database built with MIT. The data runs through 2025 and shows transistor counts per chip falling behind the two-year doubling pace.

His takeaways:
✔️ Efficiency gains remain available at the top of the computing stack.
✔️Further shrinking of logic switches still offers headroom.
✔️Capturing both will require changes in technology, organization, and business models.

At PDF Solutions, we see this shift every day. When scaling alone no longer delivers, data and analytics become the way to find the next gains in performance and efficiency.

Where do you see the biggest opportunity as Moore’s law slows?

Supplier cybersecurity audits are about to change in semiconductors.

Ian Ryu at PDF Solutions recently recapped the first Korea SSCA webinar, hosted by SEMI Korea. SSCA is a shared cyber assessment framework meant to replace the many separate audits suppliers face today. It uses 44 questions, scored from Level 0 to Level 5, and follows the path TISAX set in automotive.

SK hynix has already started pilot assessments in Korea. The Q&A session showed strong vendor interest and plenty of practical questions on adoption.

Some issues are still open, including governance and assessor accreditation. At PDF Solutions, we think early preparation is the smart move.

That’s a wrap on PDF Solutions CONNECT 2026! 🎉

Dr. Jonathan Koomey kicked us off with a keynote that got the whole room thinking.

Then our breakout sessions took over, and the energy didn’t drop:

Our breakout sessions went deep on the topics our customers care about most:
✔️ Scalable Analytics
✔️ Advanced Test
✔️ LLM-Based Solutions
✔️ Equipment Solutions, Integration, AI, and Connectivity
✔️ Exensio Aurora design and development strategy,

Sessions were well attended and the discussions were great. We’re proud of what our team, our speakers, and our community built together.

Thank you to everyone who joined us!

Tami Tracey, Manager of Solutions Engineering at PDF Solutions, received a SEMI Merit Award during last week's SEMICON West!

Only four individuals earned this recognition this year. It honors major contributions to the semiconductor industry through the SEMI Standards program.

With her work on the standards committees, Tami tackles complex problems at the task force level and drives projects to successful completion. Her work helps move the whole industry forward.

At PDF Solutions, we see this impact firsthand. Standards make data exchange, connectivity, and collaboration possible across the semiconductor ecosystem. Tami’s commitment to that work reflects what we value as a company.

Congratulations, Tami! We are proud to have you on our team.

Last week at SEMICON West, we joined the ESDA Design Forum at Moscone Center, and it was a full day of big ideas.

Ming Zhang VP, Fabless Solutions at PDF Solutions chaired the event while Kimon Michaels, EVP Products & Solutions and Co-Founder of PDF Solutions spoke on scalable, AI-ready data platforms, secure data exchange and ecosystem collaboration from front-end to advanced packaging.

Leaders from TSMC, Cerebras, Applied Materials, Lam Research, Intel, Cadence and more shared where AI is delivering results today.

Our takeaway is simple. Better chips start with better data, and better data starts with collaboration.

Thank you to ESDA and SEMI for bringing the industry together. We are proud to be part of the conversation.

Day 1 of PDF CONNECT 2026 is complete, and day 2 is underway in San Francisco.

Yesterday we opened with keynotes and spent the afternoon on solutions, demos, and panels. The room was engaged from the first session to the last.

We closed the night with a dinner panel. It was a great conversation and a strong end to the day.

Today we go deeper:
▪️ Technical demos and deep dives
▪️ Hands-on workshops with our platform
▪️ One-on-one time with our product managers and developers

At PDF Solutions, we built PDF Solutions CONNECT for these conversations. Semiconductor analytics and AI move forward when the people doing the work compare notes.
