Advanced Integrated Methodology for ASIC Design and Production Management

A company looking for a custom logic supplier today has a range of different options. Why choose to work with eSilicon? The answer comes down to our our advanced integrated methodology. This methodology allows us to master both the design aspects of a project and then also the operational and production aspects of the chips. What differentiates eSilicon from its competition is the way that we understand each aspect of the process.

Mastering design means not just getting a design to work correctly the first time, but doing it on time and getting the desired result. The engineering costs to build a modern system on chip (SoC) are very high and there’s no point in spending the money and ending up with a result that is merely acceptable. Your design should be best in class in performance, power consumption and area, and therefore in production cost terms. eSilicon has completed more than 200 designs across a broad range of application areas from high-performance computing to low-cost consumer and ultra-low-power hearing aids. This range means our design team has a tremendous breadth of experience, and the number of designs completed each year means that skills are kept current.

However, the best design in the world won’t help your business if it cannot be manufactured, and this is where our operations and production capabilities are so important. eSilicon is involved in all aspects of manufacturing and works with tier-one suppliers in wafer foundry, test, assembly and package design. Our independence means we are not tied to any given supplier and can pick the best suppliers to work with, choosing them solely in the best interests of the customer. We care about the yield and the quality metrics of your design: our product engineering team will work to get the desired results not just for the engineering prototypes, but for all the production units — no matter how large the volume is.
