Teamcenter Semiconductor Lifecycle Management is a Teamcenter X industry solution. This means it is a preconfigured SaaS PLM solution that gets you up and running quickly with built-in best practices and reduced cost of ownership with a SaaS deployment. All the operations and maintenance, including updates, are managed by Siemens.

Teamcenter semiconductor lifecycle management helps to reduce the fragmentation of an organization while streamlining key processes with a clear audit trail. This end-to-end traceability ensures high data fidelity across the lifecycle, so the correct version of data is always being used. As a result of improved workflows and simplified collaboration, semiconductor devices can be produced at the highest quality possible without design respins.

The semiconductor industry is one of the most innovative industries, ensuring the adoption of new technologies such as 5G, Artificial Intelligence and AR/VR. Indeed, semiconductors are critical to countless of today’s consumer products and as demand for ever greater computing power in less space rises, the trend seems likely to continue. Keeping up with technology requires a flawless design process that can help you to manage fast moving requirements while re-using key IP. Teamcenter semiconductor lifecycle management helps you understand the impact of design changes across disciplines to address complexity through internal and external IP libraries. Manage die design artifacts, orchestrate wafer process technology and oversee mask set and reticle data across the supply chain to boost quality.

To effectively plan semicondcutor manufacturing processes, companies need to collaborate across globally distributed sites and domains to streamline engineering, design and manufacturing planning while ensuring alignment between engineering and manufacturing BOMS. By using Teamcenter semiconductor lifecycle management, implement industry-specific process flows and data models to improve cross-domain visibility and guarantee compliance for a smooth transition to fab handoff.
