The proliferation of System
on Chip (SoC) designs have created a whole new market of smart products
that have decreased in size while greatly increasing in functionality.
However, new challenges have made it more difficult for designers
to achieve first-time-right silicon success in time to meet market
windows. For designers to be successful, a comprehensive SoC solution
package that covers the entire chip development is needed.
UMC collaborates closely with customers as well
as partners throughout the entire supply chain, including equipment,
EDA tool, and IP vendors to work synergistically towards each customer's
SoC silicon success. This has resulted in a broad range of resources
available to SoC designers, including silicon validated reference
flows, a broad IP portfolio, free-of-charge libraries, and low cost
prototyping. We also understand system implications so that we can
engage in robust dialogue and offer suggestions for optimizing system
partition for each design.
Combine these with our advanced 90nm and below
process technologies, extensive package and test capabilities, and
state-of-the-art 300mm manufacturing, and the result is complete
SoC foundry solutions to deliver successful results in a timely
fashion.
