Rapidus, Japan’s government-backed semiconductor developer, is betting on artificial intelligence-enhanced design tools to give it an edge over its competitors, in an effort to speed up its chip-design process and minimize costs.
The firm made the announcement during Semicon, a semiconductor-industry event being held in Tokyo from Wednesday to Friday at the Tokyo Big Sight convention center.
Rapidus’ newly announced suite of offerings, which will be rolled out next year, includes Raads Generator, an AI-assisted design tool modeled on large-scale language models — AI systems trained on datasets — and optimized for 2-nanometer chip manufacturing.
