AI Agents and Digital Twins Reshape Shift-Left in Chip Design
Understand the story
On October 29, 2026, Semiconductor Engineering held a roundtable on chips and packaging, featuring four experts from Synopsys, Silvaco, Axiomise, and Hiveware, to discuss how AI agents and digital twin technologies are redefining the "Shift Left" concept in the chip design flow. The roundtable's core point was: with the help of AI agents and digital twins, design teams can explore and validate various design choices at much earlier stages, including materials, transistor structures (such as CFET, complementary field-effect transistor), and chip architectures. This means that evaluation and optimization work traditionally done late in the flow can be moved earlier in the design process, enabling earlier risk detection and lower iteration costs. This is the only report on the topic so far, with no follow-up developments disclosed.
