In this Q&A, Anshul Karnik discusses how manufacturers build quality systems capable of supporting new-product introduction, yield ramp, and high-volume production in increasingly complex semiconductor environments. He explains how process capability, adaptive sampling, virtual metrology, and statistical process control help organizations identify risk earlier, accelerate learning, and maintain manufacturing readiness as production scales.
In this interview, Karnik discusses the technical and organizational challenges of semiconductor NPI, how yield ramp exposes hidden manufacturing risks, and what it takes to move emerging technologies into high-volume manufacturing with confidence.
After decades beside injection molding machines, I have learned an important truth: Data can provide facts, but only human intuition can reveal the truth behind them.

In production AM, the question that matters is not only “Do you have a procedure?” It’s also “Can you prove what actually happened to this part, quickly, consistently, and at scale?”
Ultimately, quality in an AI-driven world is determined by the design of the governance surrounding the tool, not just the capability of the tool itself.
