AI in Chip Manufacturing: How Fabs Are Cutting Defects
Lam Research is building AI directly into chipmaking equipment. The AI system will monitor the semiconductor manufacturing process in real time, catching defects at early stages and optimizing parameters. This should reduce defects and raise fab productivity without requiring a complete equipment overhaul.
