Frequently Asked Questions

What is semiconductor reverse engineering?

Semiconductor reverse engineering is the process of analyzing an integrated circuit (IC) to uncover its design, architecture, manufacturing process, and circuit functionality. This can include chip teardown, delayering, imaging, layout analysis, and circuit extraction to understand how a device was built and how it operates.

Most semiconductor devices can be reverse engineered, including logic ICs, memory (DRAM, NAND), SoCs, RF components, power devices, image sensors, and advanced packaging technologies such as 2.5D and 3D ICs. Analysis depth ranges from package-level teardown to transistor-level circuit extraction.

Reverse engineering reveals competitor process nodes, design techniques, architecture decisions, material stacks, and performance optimizations. These insights help engineering and product teams benchmark performance, reduce design risk, and identify cost or technology gaps.

Circuit extraction reconstructs the electrical schematic from a semiconductor layout. It enables detailed functional analysis, patent validation, and verification of design implementation. Circuit extraction is often critical in IP litigation and patent licensing cases.

Reverse engineering is used by semiconductor companies, fabless design houses, foundries, automotive suppliers, consumer electronics OEMs, IP firms, litigation teams, and strategic investors.

Yes. Through structural analysis, layer measurements, and materials characterization, reverse engineering can determine process node details, transistor architecture (e.g., FinFET, GAA), and fabrication techniques used by the foundry.

Reverse engineering provides technical evidence of use (EoU) by mapping patent claims to specific structures or circuits inside a chip. This supports IP litigation, licensing negotiations, and portfolio valuation.

Deliverables may include high-resolution microscopy images, block diagrams, extracted schematics, bill of materials (BOM), process cross-sections, functional analysis reports, and benchmarking comparisons — all structured for engineering or legal use.

Project timelines depend on complexity and depth of analysis. High-level chip teardown may take weeks, while full circuit extraction and transistor-level analysis can take several months.
