Post-Silicon Validation Process

Comprehensive Silicon Validation Solutions

Sanketh Semiconductors provides end-to-end post-silicon validation services to ensure your ASIC/SoC performs as designed in real silicon. Our team of validation experts has successfully characterized 75+ chips across automotive, AI/ML, and high-performance computing applications, reducing time-to-market by 30% for our clients.

We combine advanced lab equipment with proprietary validation methodologies to uncover silicon issues that escape pre-silicon verification. Our services cover electrical validation, functional validation, performance characterization, and reliability testing - delivering actionable insights to improve both current and future designs.

Our Validation Methodology

Structured approach for comprehensive silicon evaluation:

  • Test plan development from design specs
  • Bring-up and initial characterization
  • Electrical parameter validation
  • Functional and corner case testing
  • Performance/power characterization
  • Reliability and stress testing
