Synopsys to cut chip fab manufacturing control software in shift to AI design
Synopsys plans to stop offering manufacturing process control software. This move allows the company to divert resources to higher-margin AI design offerings. Chipmakers like Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix were informed about the end-of-life decision. Affected products include automation software that monitors fabrication plant anomalies. Some chipmakers are developing their own in-house manufacturing tools.
