Agentic solutions across the semiconductor lifecycle
Accelerate execution from design verification through test readiness, silicon bring-up, and sustaining yield & quality—by automating triage, tightening release gates, and turning fragmented data into decisions.
Faster execution across the lifecycle
Workflow acceleration at every stage
From design verification through field reliability, purpose-built agentic workflows automate investigations, decisions, and corrective actions across the entire silicon lifecycle — so your engineers focus on what matters most.
Design
Accelerate verification, debug, and signoff.
- Spec-to-RTL generation
- Verification speedup (functional, formal)
- Timing closure debug
Ramp
COMING SOONCompress learning loops from first silicon to volume readiness.
- Test plan generation
- ATE program validation
- NPI test data analysis
Production
Detect, contain, and close the loop in production and the field.
- Excursion detection & triage
- Defect pareto analysis
- Yield improvement
Works above your existing stack — not instead of it
Data is at the core of the silicon lifecycle. Emergence unifies your structured systems with unstructured engineering knowledge, then activates that unified layer through agentic workflows — without replacing your EDA tools or yield platforms.
- Integrates with OptimalPlus GO and other yield platforms
- Connects EDA outputs, test systems, MES, QMS, and PLM
- Captures unstructured knowledge: FA reports, tickets, SOPs, tribal knowledge
- Human-in-the-loop with appropriate review and approval gates
Workflow-first agents built for engineering execution
Not generic AI assistants. Purpose-built agentic systems trained on semiconductor domain knowledge, designed to deliver traceable results from day one.
Workflow-first agents
Each agent is purpose-built for specific engineering execution workflows — from regression triage to excursion containment — not generic chat that requires prompt engineering to get useful output.
Traceable outputs
Every output carries evidence links — waveforms, test logs, prior debug sessions — providing the auditability and repeatability that safety-critical semiconductor workflows demand.
Fast time-to-value
Start with 1–2 high-impact workflows and demonstrate ROI within weeks. Emergence is designed to scale incrementally across the full silicon lifecycle without a multi-year integration program.
Built by Veterans in Semiconductors
Emergence is uniquely positioned to lead agentic AI for semiconductors because we sit at the rare intersection of (1) world-class agentic AI systems and (2) deep semiconductor execution experience.
Our team brings leadership backgrounds spanning IBM Research, IBM Microelectronics, and Broadcom, with experience across EDA and verification, silicon bring-up and production readiness, and advanced device/interconnect and packaging technologies. In parallel, we have led and contributed to benchmark-leading agentic AI research and systems, including work associated with Agent E, BIRD-SQL, HELM, and LongMemEval, as well as advances in recursive intelligence which are essential for building scalable, reusable automation across many semiconductor workflows.
Collectively, the team has:
- •Built and led agentic AI systems and evaluation efforts that push state of the art in tool use, long-horizon task execution, and memory-driven reasoning which are capabilities required to automate real semiconductor programs end-to-end.
- •Led advanced semiconductor technology programs at IBM Research and IBM Microelectronics, spanning interconnect innovations, advanced materials, device technology transitions (FinFET/ETSOI), and packaging.
- •Delivered major EDA/compiler optimization advances for ASIC and server-class chips, including a 50× Verilog compilation speedup recognized with an Outstanding Technical Achievement Award.
- •Supported FinFET adoption and chip bring-up at Broadcom, working closely with foundry partners and business units through critical ramp phases.
- •Produced a sustained record of invention and publication with 300+ papers and 200+ U.S. patents, including recognition such as IBM Master Inventor status, and major IEEE-level innovation awards.
Together, this combination, best-in-class agentic AI plus hard-earned semiconductor execution depth, is what enables Emergence to automate the entire semiconductor lifecycle: accelerating design, compressing NPI and ramp learning loops, and improving yield and field quality with enterprise-grade rigor.
