TenX Semi

TenX Semi is an AI-native EDA infrastructure company automating the two largest bottlenecks in semiconductor development: digital verification and analog layout. Founded in 2025 by a team from Stanford, Samsung, and Cadence, TenX’s core innovation — STAR verification — applies a novel state-space reduction methodology to make full-chip formal verification computationally feasible at SoC scale, reducing verification cycles from months to weeks. Its reinforcement learning-based analog layout engine complements this by generating foundry-compliant layouts automatically, enabling rapid IP reuse across nodes and foundries.
