Failure analysis spans every stage of the silicon build, from design and fab to test, assembly, and post-production. Maintaining context across these stages is critical to understanding the root cause of failures.
Vectara’s managed agent for failure analysis is a context layer for querying and searching the complex, high-volume data engineers work with: ATE datalogs, wafer maps, bench notes, FA lab reports, errata, JIRA history, vendor documentation, and design records. Vectara is grounded in an organization’s own data and deployed on-premise and air-gapped, in VPC or SaaS environments. Customer data is never used for model training.
Multimodal ingestion connects siloed, high-volume engineering data across an organization, putting critical insights at every engineer’s fingertips. Consequently, engineers can start with everything already known about a failure rather than beginning with the sample in front of them.
Vectara Advantage
Across its enterprise deployments, Vectara's grounded-agent approach has driven measurable results for customers, including in semiconductor failure analysis:
- 30%
Reduction in failure analysis cycle time
- 90%
Accuracy on root cause analysis
- 80%
Accuracy on next step recommendation
Vectara Solution
Vectara manages the entire failure analysis pipeline, from data ingestion to intelligent querying.
Agentic Ingest
Vectara ingests data from multiple knowledge bases including prior failure cases, design and specifications documents, process data, test data, across various source systems are indexed.
Managed Agents
Vectara's agents are optimized to index advanced manufacturing failure data and to understand chip concepts (for example, register calculations), find similar failures, and recommend resolution or further testing steps.
User Interface
Vectara's chat-based interface enables failure analysis engineers to interact with agents and guide the analysis process through natural language queries.
Getting agents to operate correctly in production involves combining complex components in the right way. Vectara has proven the platform can do this well especially when multimodal data is involved.
