AI-Powered Software to Prevent Costly Errors in Microchip Design and Production

digitalPilotedTRL 7

Imagine building a giant skyscraper where one wrong bolt could make the whole thing collapse, but you only find out after it's finished. This tool acts like a super-smart digital inspector that checks every single connection before the building is even started. It uses AI to find hidden mistakes automatically, ensuring the final product is perfect every time.

The business problem

What needed solving

Traditional chip verification relies on simulations that often miss subtle bugs, leading to physical production errors. These mistakes can cause losses reaching billions of euros and significant market entry delays.

The solution

What was built

An AI-assisted software platform called Lubifier that automates formal verification of digital designs. It features a plug-and-play UI for uploading design IP and generating detailed error reports.

Who can put this to work

Consumer Electronics
enterprise
Target: Smartphone and Wearable SoC Designers

If you are a SoC designer dealing with complex integrated circuits where a single bug can lead to billions in losses — this project developed Lubifier that provides a mathematically proven 0% chance of errors. This ensures your product reaches the market faster and without costly redesigns.

Automotive Tech
SME
Target: Autonomous Driving Chip Startups

If you are a startup dealing with limited specialized infrastructure for chip verification — this project developed a plug-and-play platform that eliminates the need for extensive training. It allows your small team to upload IP and receive detailed error reports immediately.

Industrial Automation
mid-size
Target: Industrial Controller Manufacturers

If you are a manufacturer dealing with the risk of physical production defects that affect every unit produced — this project developed an AI-assisted verification tool that ensures first-silicon success. This reduces the financial overhead of traditional simulation-based methods.

Frequently asked

Quick answers

How is the software priced or sold?

The project intends to introduce the software to the market through a licensing-based business model.
