Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and do not include all disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the related notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on February 28, 2023 (2022 Form 10-K) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The December 31, 2022 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future interim or annual period. Principles of Consolidation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Arteris, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Use of Estimates The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates relate to, among others, revenue recognition, the useful lives of assets, assessment of recoverability of property, plant and equipment, fair value of investments, impairment of the equity method investment, fair values of goodwill and other intangible assets, including impairments, leases, allowances for doubtful accounts, deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance, stock-based compensation, potential reserves relating to litigation and tax matters, collectability of certain receivables, fair value and amortization of deferred income, as well as other accruals or reserves. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less from the purchase date to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash equivalents include deposits in money market accounts which were unrestricted as to withdrawal or use and are stated at fair value. As of September 30, 2023, cash and cash equivalents consisted primarily of checking, savings, money market accounts and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Interest earned on cash and cash equivalents is included in other income (expense), net in the unaudited consolidated statements of loss. As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s long-term restricted cash balance was $0.4 million, primarily related to a letter of credit for its facility lease agreement. Restricted cash, noncurrent is included in other assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, investments and accounts receivable. Cash is currently held in three financial institutions that the Company believes are creditworthy. Cash held at these financial institutions generally exceed federally insured limits. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institution holding its cash, cash equivalents, and investments to the extent recorded in the balance sheet. The Company has not experienced any losses to date related to these concentrations. The Company’s accounts receivable are derived principally from revenue earned from customers located in Americas, Europe, Middle East and Asia Pacific regions. Accounts receivable from the Company’s major customers representing 10% or more of total accounts receivable was as follows: As of September 30, December 31, Customer A 24 % — % Customer B 14 % 32 % Revenue from the Company’s major customers representing 10% or more of total revenue was as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2023 2022 2023 2022 Customer B 13 % 24 % * 26 % * Customer accounted for less than 10% of total revenue at period end. Nature of Products and Services The Company’s revenue is primarily derived from licensing intellectual property, licensing software, support and maintenance services, professional services, training services, and royalties. Design Solutions Interconnect Solutions product arrangements provide customers the right to software licenses, services, and support and maintenance. The Company enters into licensing arrangements with customers that typically range from two Application Engineer Support Services are integral and fundamental to the customer’s ability to derive its intended benefit from the IP. CAEs are part of the product development team providing detailed requirements for engineering projects, working very closely with a customer’s chief technology officer and the marketing department, and performing quality assurance testing of customer products prior to shipment to their customers. FAEs provide assistance to the customer’s engineering team in translating their desired SoC architecture into inputs for NoC IP configuration, assistance in optimizing the NoC configuration, answer to customer questions by the online support system or phone, constructive reviews of the progress achieved by the customer’s development team and provision of advice on how to best use the licensed IP, performance of design reviews before customer project RTL freeze and tape-out to ensure the customer used the licensed IP configuration tooling as intended so that the RTL output meets customer requirements and expectations. FAE reviews of the customer’s design are mandatory and consist of an understanding of the customer requirements and analysis of the adequacy of the contemplated IP considering the customer’s desired architecture and design goals and objectives, taking into consideration bandwidth, coherence/non-coherence, latency, clock and timing, areas, and any and all constraints, as identified and specific to the design under review. Besides Application Engineer Support Services, support and maintenance services also consist of a stand-ready obligation to provide technical support and software updates over the support term. Generally, the first-year of technical support and software updates are bundled with and into the license fee with a customer option to renew additional years of support throughout the license term. However, the Company continues to provide technical support and software updates throughout the license term even if the customer does not renew these services in subsequent years, making the license term and support and maintenance term co-terminus. Considering the nature of the combined license and assisting the Company’s customers in applying its IP technology in its customers’ development environment and the relative significance thereof, the Company has concluded that its Interconnect Solutions IP licensing arrangements are not distinct from its obligation to provide the Application Engineer Support Services and benefits of the RTL. The Interconnect Solutions IP, RTL, and the application engineering support services serve to fulfill its commitment to the customer, as they represent inputs to a single, combined performance obligation that commences upon the later of the arrangement effective date or transfer of the software license. The design license and the regular two-way interaction between the design license tool, RTL, and the application engineering support services give the customer the intended benefit from the arrangement, which is the ability to commercialize their design. Customers cannot benefit from the design license on its own or together with other readily available resources as no other RTL or Application Engineer Support Services providers exist in the marketplace that a customer could use with the design license. Consequently, the RTL and Application Engineer Support Services cannot be used on their own or together with any other design license as the Company does not allow the use of the RTL or provide Application Engineer Support Services separately from the design license. Further, although technical support and software updates is a distinct performance obligation, it is accounted for as if it were part of a single performance obligation that includes the licenses, RTL and Application Engineer Support Services because the technical support and updates are provided in practice for the same period of time and have the same time-based pattern of transfer to the customer as the combined design license, RTL, and Application Engineer Support Services. Revenues that are derived from the sale of a licensee’s products that incorporate the Company’s IP are classified as royalty revenues. Royalty revenues are recognized during the quarter in which the sale of the product incorporating the Company’s IP occurs. Royalties are calculated either as a percentage of the revenues received by a licensee’s sale of products incorporating the Company’s IP or on a per unit basis, as specified in the agreements with the licensees. For a majority of the Company’s royalty revenues, it receives the actual sales data from its customers after the quarter ends and accounts for it as unbilled receivables. When the Company does not receive actual sales data from the customer prior to the finalization of its financial statements, royalty revenues are recognized based on its estimation of the customer’s sales during the quarter. SoC Integration Automation Software Solutions SoC Integration Automation software (SIA) (formerly IP deployment) solutions product arrangements provide customers the right to software licenses, software updates and technical support. The software licenses are time-based licenses with terms generally ranging from one Professional Services The Company’s agreements may include service elements (other than maintenance and support services). These services include training, design assistance, and consulting. Services performed on a time and materials basis are recognized over the period the services are provided either using an output method such as labor hours, or a method that is otherwise consistent with the way in which value is delivered to the customer. Services performed on a fixed price basis are recognized over time, generally using costs incurred or hours expended to measure progress. Multiple Performance Obligations Most of the Company’s contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, the Company accounts for individual performance obligations separately, if they are distinct. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis, which are estimated considering multiple factors including observable industry pricing practices and internal pricing strategies and objectives. Standalone selling prices of software license are typically estimated using the residual approach. Standalone selling prices of professional services are typically estimated based on observable transactions when these services are sold on a standalone basis. Transaction price Revenue is recognized when, or as, control of a promised product or service transfers to a client, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring those products or services. If the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount, the Company estimates the amount to which it expects to be entitled using either the expected value or most likely amount method, to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. Generally, the transaction price of the Company’s contracts is fixed at the inception of the contract, except for variable royalties. The Company’s contracts generally do not include terms that could cause variability in the transaction price. The Company assesses the timing of the transfer of goods or services to the customer as compared to the timing of payments to determine whether a significant financing component exists. As a practical expedient, the Company does not assess the existence of a significant financing component when the difference between payment and transfer of deliverables is a year or less. If the difference in timing arises for reasons other than the provision of finance to either the customer or the Company, no financing component is deemed to exist. When contracts involve a significant financing component, the Company adjusts the promised amount of consideration for the effects of the time value of money if the timing of payments agreed to by the parties to the contract (either explicitly or implicitly) provide the customer with a significant benefit of financing. The Company reports revenue net of any revenue-based taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are imposed on and concurrent with specific revenue-producing transactions. In instances where foreign licensees withhold and remit taxes to local authorities in accordance with local laws and regulations, the Company recognizes and presents revenue on a gross basis, and includes the withholding tax in income tax expense. Flexible Spending Accounts Some customers enter into a non-cancelable flexible spending account agreements (FSA Agreements) whereby the customer commits to a fixed dollar amount over a specified period of time that can be used to purchase from a list of the Company’s products or services. These agreements do not meet the definition of a revenue contract until the customer executes a separate order to identify the required products and services that they are purchasing. The combination of the FSA agreement and the subsequent order creates enforceable rights and obligations, thus meeting the definition of a revenue contract. Each separate order under the agreement is treated as an individual contract and accounted for based on the respective performance obligations included within the FSA agreements. Contract modifications The Company’s contracts may be modified to add, remove or change existing performance obligations. The accounting for modifications to the Company’s contracts involves assessing whether the products and services added to an existing contract are distinct and whether the pricing is at the standalone selling price. Products and services added that are not distinct are accounted for on a cumulative catch-up basis, while those that are distinct are accounted for prospectively, either as a separate contract if the additional services are priced at the standalone selling price, or as a termination of the existing contract and creation of a new contract if not priced at the standalone selling price. The Company’s more significant contract modifications include extensions of the design license term and the purchase of additional years of support and maintenance. Judgments The Company’s contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together requires significant judgment. Judgment is also required to determine the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. Contract Balances The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers, and these timing differences result in receivables (billed or unbilled), contract assets, or contract liabilities (deferred revenue) on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company records a contract asset when revenue is recognized prior to the right to invoice. The Company records deferred revenue when it invoices customers and revenue is not yet recognized. Customers are generally invoiced in single or annual amounts, although some customers are invoiced more frequently over time. The Company records an unbilled receivable when revenue is recognized and it has an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment. The Company capitalizes sales commission as costs of obtaining a contract when they are incremental and, if they are expected to be recovered, amortized in a manner consistent with the pattern of transfer of the good or service to which the asset relates. Significant Accounting Policies There have been no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from those disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, except for those disclosed in this document. |

Contract assets are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2023, non-cancelable contracted but unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations that have not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenues in future periods, is $61.3 million, of which $32.7 million is expected to be recognized over the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter. The Company has elected to exclude the potential future royalty receipts from this amount. Costs of Obtaining a Contract with a Customer Incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer consist primarily of direct sales commissions incurred upon execution of the contract. These costs are required to be capitalized under ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs — Contracts With Customers , and amortized over the license term. As direct sales commissions paid for term extensions are commensurate with the amounts paid for initial contracts, the deferred incremental costs for initial contracts and for term extensions are recognized over the respective contract terms. Total capitalized direct commission costs were as follows (in thousands): As of September 30, December 31, Short-term commission capitalized in prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 2,436 $ 2,636 Long-term commission capitalized in other assets 1,274 1,535 Total $ 3,710 $ 4,171 Amortization of capitalized sales commissions was $0.9 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, $2.8 million and $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and are included in sales and marketing expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of loss. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Assets Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis Equity method investments, and certain non-financial assets, such as intangible assets are remeasured at fair value only if an impairment or observable price adjustment is recognized in the current period. Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Financial instruments not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis include vendor financing arrangements. The carrying value of the vendor financing agreements was $3.0 million and $1.7 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company’s vendor financing arrangements are classified within Level 2 because these borrowings are not actively traded and have a variable interest rate structure based upon the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The estimated fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values. Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The following tables summarize the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands): As of September 30, 2023 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value Assets: Cash equivalents: Money market funds $ 11,758 $ — $ — $ 11,758 U.S. treasury securities — 2,985 — 2,985 Total cash equivalents 11,758 2,985 — 14,743 Short-term investments: Certificate of deposit — 5,000 — 5,000 Corporate bonds — 989 — 989 U.S. government agency securities — 12,851 — 12,851 U.S. treasury securities — 8,894 — 8,894 Total short-term investments — 27,734 — 27,734 Long-term investments: Corporate bonds — 2,687 — 2,687 U.S. government agency securities — 7,600 — 7,600 Total long-term investments — 10,287 — 10,287 Total financial assets $ 11,758 $ 41,006 $ — $ 52,764 As of December 31, 2022 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value Assets: Cash equivalents: Money market funds $ 30,428 $ — $ — $ 30,428 Total cash equivalents 30,428 — — 30,428 Short-term investments: Commercial paper — 2,603 — 2,603 Corporate bonds — 3,971 — 3,971 U.S. government agency securities — 15,777 — 15,777 U.S. treasury securities — 8,377 — 8,377 Total short-term investments — 30,728 — 30,728 Long-term investments: Corporate bonds — 1,736 — 1,736 U.S. government agency securities — 2,691 — 2,691 Total long-term investments — 4,427 — 4,427 Total financial assets $ 30,428 $ 35,155 $ — $ 65,583 Money market funds are highly liquid investments and are actively traded. The fair value is based on quoted prices for identical assets in active markets and therefore classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s other investments are considered Level 2 financial instruments as their fair values are determined using inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in active or less active markets. There were no transfers between levels during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. |

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Letter of Credit —In conjunction with the execution of the operating lease for the Company’s new headquarter facility, a letter of credit in the amount of $0.4 million was issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2023. No draws have been made under such letter of credit. There was no letter of credit issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2022. Indemnifications —The Company often enters into limited indemnification provisions in license agreements in the ordinary course of the Company’s licensing business. Pursuant to these provisions, which are often inserted into license agreements in the semiconductor IP and software licensing industries, the Company agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and reimburse the indemnified parties up to a capped amount for losses suffered or incurred by such indemnified parties due to third party claims if such claims are determined to be caused by the Company. The term of these indemnification provisions is generally either for a term of years or perpetual, in each case beginning on the execution date of the agreement. The Company has also agreed to indemnify under indemnity agreements with its directors and officers, to the extent legally permissible, against liabilities incurred in connection with any action in which such individual may be involved by reason of such individual being or having been a director or officer, other than certain liabilities arising from willful misconduct of the individual. The Company has incurred no actual payment obligations from these above-noted indemnification provisions and director and officer indemnity agreements for three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include liabilities for any potential indemnity-related obligations as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 . Legal —The Company has been and will continue to be subject to legal proceedings and claims. In the normal course of business, the Company may receive inquiries or become involved in legal disputes regarding such litigation matters. Pursuant to ASC 450, Contingencies, the Company makes a provision for a liability relating to legal matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, estimated settlements, legal rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. In December 2022, the Company received notice of a complaint filed against the Company and another defendant in the semiconductor industry, by Network System Technologies, LLC in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, and additional complaints were filed in the Eastern District of Texas against certain companies, including some customers of the Company, asserting among other things patent infringement relating to the Company’s technology seeking damages and injunctive relief. On July 21, 2023, the District Court for the Western District of Texas issued its ruling on the Company Motion to Dismiss by granting the motion in part and denying the motion in part with the leave to amend. The plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint (FAC) on August 7, 2023, and Arteris filed a Motion to Dismiss the pre-suit indirect and willful infringement claims on September 5, 2023. Network System Technologies, LLC’s opposition was filed on October 10, 2023, and Arteris filed a reply on October 17, 2023. The Company continues to vigorously defend itself in respect to these complaints and anticipates an increase in legal expenses to do so. Due to the inherent uncertainties and complex technical issues arising from such intellectual property litigation, the Company cannot predict or guarantee any result of such intellectual property litigation. As with any such litigation at its initial stages, the Company cannot comment on the possible final litigation results of ongoing litigation or the risk whether the Company may not prevail in such intellectual property litigation. In addition, such litigation may make it necessary to support or defend the Company or the Company’s customers relating to the claims in the litigation. Further, the ultimate outcome of the litigation, like any litigation, is uncertain and, regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense costs, potential negative publicity, diversion of management resources and other factors, which in turn may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. As intellectual property claims are inherently unpredictable, the Company is currently evaluating whether such matters may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In addition, significant judgement is required in both the determination of probability and determination as to whether a loss is reasonably estimable. Future revisions to such estimates could materially impact the Company’s results. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that existing or any future legal proceedings for liability estimates arising in the ordinary course of business or otherwise will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company has no other material contractual noncancelable commitments as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. |

Shares Available for Future Grant Shares available for future grant consisted of the following: As of September 30, Shares available for future grant under the 2021 Plan 3,265,292 Shares available for future grant under the 2021 ESPP 1,268,564 Shares available for future grant under the 2022 Inducement Plan 1,003,680 The Company issues new shares upon a share option exercise or release of restricted stock units. Stock Options The following table summarizes the stock option activities under the Company’s 2016 Plan and 2021 Plan: Options Outstanding Number of Shares Weighted-Average Exercise Price Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value ($'000s) BALANCE—December 31, 2022 3,542,836 $ 1.08 6.17 $ 11,416 Granted 420,000 $ 6.54 Exercised (779,227) $ 0.59 Canceled (186,250) $ 3.50 BALANCE—September 30, 2023 2,997,359 $ 1.82 6.20 $ 14,070 Options vested and exercisable—September 30, 2023 2,398,597 $ 1.16 5.65 $ 12,822 The aggregate intrinsic value of the options exercised for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $4.2 million and $9.8 million, respectively. The total grant-date fair value of options vested was $0.3 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, there was $1.2 million of unamortized stock-based compensation cost related to unvested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.2 years. The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company determines valuation assumptions for Black-Scholes as follows: Risk-Free Interest Rate —The Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model on the implied yield available on US Treasury zero coupon issues with an equivalent expected term of the options for each option group. Expected Term —The expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. The expected term assumption is based on the simplified method. The Company expects to continue using the simplified method until sufficient information about the Company’s historical behavior is available. Volatility —The Company determines the price volatility factor based on the historical volatilities of the Company’s peer group as the Company does not have sufficient trading history for its common stock. Dividend Yield —The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividend and does not currently plan to pay a cash dividend in the foreseeable future. Consequently, the Company used an expected dividend yield of zero. The following table summarizes the valuation assumptions: Stock Options Valuation Assumptions Three and Nine Months Ended 2023 Fair value of common stock $6.54 Expected volatility 44.0% Expected term (in years) 6.0 Risk-free interest rate 3.9% Expected dividend yield 0% The Company granted 420,000 stock options during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and had no stock option grants during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Restricted Stock Units and Awards The following table summarizes the restricted stock unit activities under the Company’s 2016 and 2021 Plan and the 2022 Inducement Plan: Restricted Stock Units Number of Shares Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Unvested—December 31, 2022 5,619,013 $ 7.24 Granted 2,752,491 $ 5.72 Vested (1,503,925) $ 7.20 Canceled (633,405) $ 7.78 Unvested—September 30, 2023 6,234,174 $ 6.52 The total grant-date fair value of restricted stock units vested was $11.8 million and $6.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, there was $33.5 million of unamortized stock-based compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock units, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years. Restricted Common Stock In connection with the Semifore Acquisition (see Note 8), the Company issued 331,574 shares of common stock that will vest on the first and third anniversary of the closing of the Acquisition contingent on the continued employment of certain key employees. As of September 30, 2023, 331,574 shares of common stock remain unvested. These shares had a grant date fair value of $1.3 million based on the closing stock price on the acquisition date. The Company will recognize total compensation cost of $1.3 million to be amortized on a straight-line basis over the total vesting period of three years. As of September 30, 2023, the total unamortized compensation cost was $1.0 million . Stock-based Compensation Stock-based compensation expense is recorded on a departmental basis, based on the classification of the award holder. The following table presents the amount of stock-based compensation related to stock-based awards to employees on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of loss (in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2023 2022 2023 2022 Cost of revenue $ 181 $ 118 $ 386 $ 474 Research and development 1,742 1,798 5,656 4,435 Sales and marketing 666 679 2,088 1,678 General and administrative 1,125 794 2,851 2,495 Total stock-based compensation $ 3,714 $ 3,389 $ 10,981 $ 9,082 During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 , the Company recognized $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively as stock-based compensation expense for common stock issued as part of the Semifore Acquisition. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENT | EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENT On February 21, 2022, Arteris IP (Hong Kong) Ltd. (AHK), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Share Purchase and Shareholders Agreement (the SPA) with certain investors and Ningbo Transchip Information Consulting Partnership (Limited Partnership) (Management Co). The transaction closed on June 20, 2022. The Company, the investors and Management Co, pursuant to the SPA, subscribed to the registered capital of Transchip Technology (Nanjing) Co., Ltd. (Transchip), a formerly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result, the registered capital of Transchip increased to $29.4 million . The Company subscribed for the registered capital of approximately $11.9 million, of which $11.6 million of the contribution was contributed in-kind by way of an interconnect solutions technology license by the Company pursuant to a five-year technology license and services agreement which can be extended automatically for another five-year term, and the remaining was paid in cash. The license agreement provides Transchip the right to software licenses, services, software updates and technical support. On the closing date, the license agreement including the support and maintenance services to be provided to Transchip was valued to be $11.6 million, which was recorded as deferred income and will be recognized as other income (expense), net over a period of ten years on a straight line basis after delivery of the license. The license was delivered to Transchip on September 2, 2022. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 , the Company recognized income of $0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, for the license agreement. Deconsolidation of Transchip as a subsidiary Prior to closing of the Transchip transaction, Transchip was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company with limited operations. Upon closing of the Transchip transaction, the Company no longer has control, and therefore deconsolidated Transchip. Accordingly, the Company derecognized all the assets and liabilities of Transchip and recognized a disposal gain of $0.1 million, included in other income (expense), net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company’s ownership interest of Transchip’s common stock was 35.0% on a fully diluted basis as of September 30, 2023. The Company accounts for its common stock investment in Transchip as an equity method investment as it does not control but has significant influence over operating and financing policies of Transchip. Transchip is the Company’s only equity method investment. As of September 30, 2023, the carrying value of the investment in Transchip was $9.4 million. There was no significant difference between the Company’s c arrying value of the investment in Transchip and its share of underlying equity in net assets of Transchip. The Company’s loss from its proportionate share of its equity method investment in Transchip was $0.9 million and $2.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The Company concluded that there were no indicators of impairment related to the Company’s equity method investment in Transchip as of September 30, 2023. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES The Company’s effective tax rate was (1.8)% and (3.9)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company’s income tax provision was $0.5 million and $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The change in forecasted foreign withholding tax, changes in the geographic mix of worldwide earnings which are taxed at different rates, and the impact of losses in jurisdictions with full valuation allowances, has resulted in a decrease in the income tax provision for the period ended September 30, 2023 compared to the period ended September 30, 2022. The Company’s management continuously evaluates the need for a valuation allowance and, as of September 30, 2023, concluded that a full valuation allowance on its federal, state, and certain foreign jurisdictions deferred tax assets was still appropriate. |

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 9 Months Ended |
Sep. 30, 2023 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and do not include all disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the related notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed on February 28, 2023 (2022 Form 10-K) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The December 31, 2022 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Arteris, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates relate to, among others, revenue recognition, the useful lives of assets, assessment of recoverability of property, plant and equipment, fair value of investments, impairment of the equity method investment, fair values of goodwill and other intangible assets, including impairments, leases, allowances for doubtful accounts, deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance, stock-based compensation, potential reserves relating to litigation and tax matters, collectability of certain receivables, fair value and amortization of deferred income, as well as other accruals or reserves. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. |
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash | Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less from the purchase date to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash equivalents include deposits in money market accounts which were unrestricted as to withdrawal or use and are stated at fair value. As of September 30, 2023, cash and cash equivalents consisted primarily of checking, savings, money market accounts and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Interest earned on cash and cash equivalents is included in other income (expense), net in the unaudited consolidated statements of loss. As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s long-term restricted cash balance was $0.4 million, primarily related to a letter of credit for its facility lease agreement. Restricted cash, noncurrent is included in other assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. |
Concentrations of Credit Risk | Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, investments and accounts receivable. Cash is currently held in three financial institutions that the Company believes are creditworthy. Cash held at these financial institutions generally exceed federally insured limits. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institution holding its cash, cash equivalents, and investments to the extent recorded in the balance sheet. The Company has not experienced any losses to date related to these concentrations. The Company’s accounts receivable are derived principally from revenue earned from customers located in Americas, Europe, Middle East and Asia Pacific regions. |
Natural of Products and Services | Nature of Products and Services The Company’s revenue is primarily derived from licensing intellectual property, licensing software, support and maintenance services, professional services, training services, and royalties. Design Solutions Interconnect Solutions product arrangements provide customers the right to software licenses, services, and support and maintenance. The Company enters into licensing arrangements with customers that typically range from two Application Engineer Support Services are integral and fundamental to the customer’s ability to derive its intended benefit from the IP. CAEs are part of the product development team providing detailed requirements for engineering projects, working very closely with a customer’s chief technology officer and the marketing department, and performing quality assurance testing of customer products prior to shipment to their customers. FAEs provide assistance to the customer’s engineering team in translating their desired SoC architecture into inputs for NoC IP configuration, assistance in optimizing the NoC configuration, answer to customer questions by the online support system or phone, constructive reviews of the progress achieved by the customer’s development team and provision of advice on how to best use the licensed IP, performance of design reviews before customer project RTL freeze and tape-out to ensure the customer used the licensed IP configuration tooling as intended so that the RTL output meets customer requirements and expectations. FAE reviews of the customer’s design are mandatory and consist of an understanding of the customer requirements and analysis of the adequacy of the contemplated IP considering the customer’s desired architecture and design goals and objectives, taking into consideration bandwidth, coherence/non-coherence, latency, clock and timing, areas, and any and all constraints, as identified and specific to the design under review. Besides Application Engineer Support Services, support and maintenance services also consist of a stand-ready obligation to provide technical support and software updates over the support term. Generally, the first-year of technical support and software updates are bundled with and into the license fee with a customer option to renew additional years of support throughout the license term. However, the Company continues to provide technical support and software updates throughout the license term even if the customer does not renew these services in subsequent years, making the license term and support and maintenance term co-terminus. Considering the nature of the combined license and assisting the Company’s customers in applying its IP technology in its customers’ development environment and the relative significance thereof, the Company has concluded that its Interconnect Solutions IP licensing arrangements are not distinct from its obligation to provide the Application Engineer Support Services and benefits of the RTL. The Interconnect Solutions IP, RTL, and the application engineering support services serve to fulfill its commitment to the customer, as they represent inputs to a single, combined performance obligation that commences upon the later of the arrangement effective date or transfer of the software license. The design license and the regular two-way interaction between the design license tool, RTL, and the application engineering support services give the customer the intended benefit from the arrangement, which is the ability to commercialize their design. Customers cannot benefit from the design license on its own or together with other readily available resources as no other RTL or Application Engineer Support Services providers exist in the marketplace that a customer could use with the design license. Consequently, the RTL and Application Engineer Support Services cannot be used on their own or together with any other design license as the Company does not allow the use of the RTL or provide Application Engineer Support Services separately from the design license. Further, although technical support and software updates is a distinct performance obligation, it is accounted for as if it were part of a single performance obligation that includes the licenses, RTL and Application Engineer Support Services because the technical support and updates are provided in practice for the same period of time and have the same time-based pattern of transfer to the customer as the combined design license, RTL, and Application Engineer Support Services. Revenues that are derived from the sale of a licensee’s products that incorporate the Company’s IP are classified as royalty revenues. Royalty revenues are recognized during the quarter in which the sale of the product incorporating the Company’s IP occurs. Royalties are calculated either as a percentage of the revenues received by a licensee’s sale of products incorporating the Company’s IP or on a per unit basis, as specified in the agreements with the licensees. For a majority of the Company’s royalty revenues, it receives the actual sales data from its customers after the quarter ends and accounts for it as unbilled receivables. When the Company does not receive actual sales data from the customer prior to the finalization of its financial statements, royalty revenues are recognized based on its estimation of the customer’s sales during the quarter. SoC Integration Automation Software Solutions SoC Integration Automation software (SIA) (formerly IP deployment) solutions product arrangements provide customers the right to software licenses, software updates and technical support. The software licenses are time-based licenses with terms generally ranging from one Professional Services The Company’s agreements may include service elements (other than maintenance and support services). These services include training, design assistance, and consulting. Services performed on a time and materials basis are recognized over the period the services are provided either using an output method such as labor hours, or a method that is otherwise consistent with the way in which value is delivered to the customer. Services performed on a fixed price basis are recognized over time, generally using costs incurred or hours expended to measure progress. Multiple Performance Obligations Most of the Company’s contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, the Company accounts for individual performance obligations separately, if they are distinct. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis, which are estimated considering multiple factors including observable industry pricing practices and internal pricing strategies and objectives. Standalone selling prices of software license are typically estimated using the residual approach. Standalone selling prices of professional services are typically estimated based on observable transactions when these services are sold on a standalone basis. Transaction price Revenue is recognized when, or as, control of a promised product or service transfers to a client, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring those products or services. If the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount, the Company estimates the amount to which it expects to be entitled using either the expected value or most likely amount method, to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. Generally, the transaction price of the Company’s contracts is fixed at the inception of the contract, except for variable royalties. The Company’s contracts generally do not include terms that could cause variability in the transaction price. The Company assesses the timing of the transfer of goods or services to the customer as compared to the timing of payments to determine whether a significant financing component exists. As a practical expedient, the Company does not assess the existence of a significant financing component when the difference between payment and transfer of deliverables is a year or less. If the difference in timing arises for reasons other than the provision of finance to either the customer or the Company, no financing component is deemed to exist. When contracts involve a significant financing component, the Company adjusts the promised amount of consideration for the effects of the time value of money if the timing of payments agreed to by the parties to the contract (either explicitly or implicitly) provide the customer with a significant benefit of financing. The Company reports revenue net of any revenue-based taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are imposed on and concurrent with specific revenue-producing transactions. In instances where foreign licensees withhold and remit taxes to local authorities in accordance with local laws and regulations, the Company recognizes and presents revenue on a gross basis, and includes the withholding tax in income tax expense. Flexible Spending Accounts Some customers enter into a non-cancelable flexible spending account agreements (FSA Agreements) whereby the customer commits to a fixed dollar amount over a specified period of time that can be used to purchase from a list of the Company’s products or services. These agreements do not meet the definition of a revenue contract until the customer executes a separate order to identify the required products and services that they are purchasing. The combination of the FSA agreement and the subsequent order creates enforceable rights and obligations, thus meeting the definition of a revenue contract. Each separate order under the agreement is treated as an individual contract and accounted for based on the respective performance obligations included within the FSA agreements. Contract modifications The Company’s contracts may be modified to add, remove or change existing performance obligations. The accounting for modifications to the Company’s contracts involves assessing whether the products and services added to an existing contract are distinct and whether the pricing is at the standalone selling price. Products and services added that are not distinct are accounted for on a cumulative catch-up basis, while those that are distinct are accounted for prospectively, either as a separate contract if the additional services are priced at the standalone selling price, or as a termination of the existing contract and creation of a new contract if not priced at the standalone selling price. The Company’s more significant contract modifications include extensions of the design license term and the purchase of additional years of support and maintenance. Judgments The Company’s contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together requires significant judgment. Judgment is also required to determine the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. Contract Balances The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers, and these timing differences result in receivables (billed or unbilled), contract assets, or contract liabilities (deferred revenue) on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company records a contract asset when revenue is recognized prior to the right to invoice. The Company records deferred revenue when it invoices customers and revenue is not yet recognized. Customers are generally invoiced in single or annual amounts, although some customers are invoiced more frequently over time. The Company records an unbilled receivable when revenue is recognized and it has an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment. |
Fair Value Measurements | Assets Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis Equity method investments, and certain non-financial assets, such as intangible assets are remeasured at fair value only if an impairment or observable price adjustment is recognized in the current period. Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Financial instruments not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis include vendor financing arrangements. The carrying value of the vendor financing agreements was $3.0 million and $1.7 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company’s vendor financing arrangements are classified within Level 2 because these borrowings are not actively traded and have a variable interest rate structure based upon the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The estimated fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values. |
Indemnifications | The Company often enters into limited indemnification provisions in license agreements in the ordinary course of the Company’s licensing business. Pursuant to these provisions, which are often inserted into license agreements in the semiconductor IP and software licensing industries, the Company agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and reimburse the indemnified parties up to a capped amount for losses suffered or incurred by such indemnified parties due to third party claims if such claims are determined to be caused by the Company. The term of these indemnification provisions is generally either for a term of years or perpetual, in each case beginning on the execution date of the agreement. The Company has also agreed to indemnify under indemnity agreements with its directors and officers, to the extent legally permissible, against liabilities incurred in connection with any action in which such individual may be involved by reason of such individual being or having been a director or officer, other than certain liabilities arising from willful misconduct of the individual. |
