Semiconductor Design Cycle Wizard

German startup Process Relations has raised €700K from the HighTech Gründerfonds, and co-investors, to commercialize a software application that enables semiconductor and MEMS device developers to track and document and integrate data along the entire design cycle: from idea to experimental to test stage, including the final integration into the fab process system.

It's targeting a 'pain point', we'd say. And it gives the following as an example. When an engineer leaves a development project, his expertise and memory of who did what, when, why, and how goes with him. And when a new engineer joins the team he/she will be overwhelmed with too much unstructured data.

Based on this reporter's experience in the electronics industry, an application like this has potential beyond chipcos. The trick is making it palatable for engineers to take the time to use it.
