ASIC Design

Service 02 · ASIC design

Custom silicon, from architecture to packaged chips.

We design your ASIC in Istanbul on licensed Cadence and Synopsys flows. We tape out through X-FAB and TSMC, and manage packaging, assembly and test in Europe. One point of contact, from specification to chips in your hands.

01 · Physical design, live

Watch a chip get built.

After RTL is verified, the design is floorplanned, placed, clock-tree synthesized and routed on the target process, then signed off for DRC, LVS and timing before the GDSII goes to the foundry.

02 · The journey of your chip

Designed in Türkiye. Fabricated at world-class fabs. Assembled in Europe.

Follow a chip from our design centre in Istanbul to the foundry, through packaging and test in Europe, to your facility. Choose the foundry route.

SUPPLY CHAIN · ILLUSTRATIVE
03 · From wafer to package

Every step to a chip you can solder.

Finished wafers are probed, diced, attached, wire-bonded, moulded, marked and tested. We coordinate each step with qualified European partners.

04 · Process access

The right node for your chip.

We work across the full X-FAB portfolio for analog, mixed-signal, high-voltage, sensor and automotive silicon, and on TSMC 65 nm and 90 nm for digital-heavy designs.

05 · What we deliver

One team from spec to silicon.

Architecture & specification

System partitioning, IP selection, power, performance and area targets, and the choice of process and package.

RTL design & verification

SystemVerilog RTL, UVM verification, formal checks and FPGA prototyping of the ASIC design before tape-out.

Physical design

Synthesis, DFT and scan insertion, floorplanning, place and route, and clock-tree synthesis on Cadence and Synopsys flows.

Sign-off

Static timing, IR drop and electromigration, DRC and LVS sign-off, then GDSII hand-off to the foundry.

Tape-out & foundry

Tape-out coordination with X-FAB and TSMC, on MPW shuttles for prototypes and dedicated runs for production.

Packaging, assembly & test

Package design, assembly, wafer and final test with European partners, plus bring-up of first silicon in our lab.
