THE ENGINEERING CHALLENGE
Engineering intent is established early, then repeatedly reconstructed.
Modern semiconductor programs transform information across requirements, architecture, RTL, verification, synthesis, firmware, and physical implementation.
As designs evolve, constraints, assumptions, rationale, obligations, and verification evidence become distributed across specialized artifacts, repositories, and teams. Engineers must determine what changed, what is affected, and whether downstream work still reflects the original intent.
THE SEMSTRATE VISION
What if engineering intent never had to be rediscovered?
Semstrate investigates whether engineering intent can remain an authoritative engineering artifact throughout the semiconductor lifecycle instead of being repeatedly reconstructed after each transformation.
Preserve engineering intent. Reduce semantic reconstruction. Support more verified engineering work.

OUR RESEARCH
Preserve engineering intent as a computational research object.
Semstrate is a semantic-preservation architecture that investigates whether governed semantic representations can maintain engineering context across heterogeneous semiconductor artifacts while reducing downstream reconstruction effort.
Research Status: Active prototype under development.
RESEARCH FOCUS
Testing whether preserved intent can improve semiconductor engineering.
Maintain Semantic Continuity
Test whether domain-specific meaning can remain coherent across heterogeneous artifacts and engineering transformations.
Support Verification Readiness
Evaluate whether preserved intent improves traceability, inconsistency detection, change validation, and preparation for verification.
Measure Engineering Throughput
Determine whether reduced semantic reconstruction enables more verified engineering work with existing teams, EDA infrastructure, and schedules.
COMPANY
Researching a new architectural layer for semiconductor engineering.
Acamposoft develops Semstrate as a complementary semantic-preservation layer for semiconductor workflows. Existing EDA systems remain specialized execution engines while Semstrate investigates how engineering intent, lineage, and verification evidence can remain connected throughout the lifecycle.
