What Pdf Solutions Inc does.
We provide comprehensive data solutions designed to empower organizations across the semiconductor and electronics ecosystems to improve the yield and quality of their products and operational efficiency for increased profitability. We derive revenues from two categories, Platform and Volume-based fees. Our offerings that contribute to Platform revenue are licenses for software (other than Cimetrix® runtime licenses) and related software maintenance and technical support services; software-as-a-service (“SaaS”); engineering services; fixed fees associated with Characterization Vehicle® systems; and licenses and purchase contracts for DirectScan™ systems (formerly known as “DFI systems”). Volume-based revenue is derived from Cimetrix runtime licenses, secureWISE® data, and variable/royalty fees associated with CV® systems (sometimes referred to as Gainshare). We are headquartered in Santa Clara, California, and operate worldwide with additional offices in the United States of America, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.
For decades, due to the challenge of timely managing very large amounts of data, manufacturing analytics often functioned as an overlay in the semiconductor industry: though powerful, it was disconnected from direct execution. We are reframing analytics as infrastructure: a shared data backbone that spans characterization, process development, high-volume manufacturing, test, and assembly. We believe that this distinction is critical as data volumes explode and process interactions become increasingly nonlinear. By seeking to standardize how data is ingested, contextualized, and analyzed across domains, the PDF Solutions Platform is designed to reduce reliance on custom integrations and tribal knowledge. The result is intended to be not simply better visibility, but a common analytical language that enables faster root-cause analysis, more consistent decision-making, and shared accountability across teams and partners. Additionally, we believe that valuable, trusted, production-ready applications of AI in an industrial context need to be anchored on that type of robust, scalable, and secure data platform. Our aim is for the PDF Solutions Platform to enable the scaling of AI across the semiconductor ecosystem.
