Custom Silicon

Alphawave Semi’s spec-to-Silicon capabilities combined with our advanced design methodologies on leading-edge 3nm, 5nm, 7nm and 12nm foundry processes, and 2.5D packaging technology enable exciting new designs for Artificial Intelligence (AI), Hyperscale Data Centers, Storage, Data Networking, and High-Performance Computing (HPC).

With our end-to-end expertise spanning design to manufacturing of domain optimized SOCs, Alphawave Semi is uniquely positioned to deliver high quality custom silicon in advanced nodes down to 3nm.

Front-End Design, Integration, and Verification

Alphawave Semi has the expertise to engage at the architecture phase and has delivered multiple customizable subsystems and entire SOCs for AI enabled applications.

Our capabilities include:

SOC Micro-architecture
RTL Design and Synthesis
SOC IP Integration
Design Verification
FPGA Prototyping

IP Development and Integration

Through a combination of our internally developed, highly differentiated IP and long-standing partnership with our IP ecosystem providers, Alphawave Semi has integrated hundreds of IP into very complex domain-specific SOCs in datacenter, storage, networking, and AI-enabled applications.

Examples of these include:

Up to1128G SerDes with 256 lanes
PCIe Gen5/CXL, HBM, LPDDR/DDR
Die-to-Die IP for chiplets
RISC-V and Arm processors

Physical Design

Alphawave Semi experts in Physical Design Methodologies have completed complex chip tape-outs in a variety of process nodes including 3nm, for high-performance applications in AI, Hyperscale Data Center Computing, Data Networking, Storage, and High-Performance Computing (HPC).

Design Characteristics:

Large Die-Sizes: > 400mm²
Huge amounts of embedded memory
High Speed Interfaces: 112G SerDes, HBM3, D2D, PCIe Gen5/CXL

Wafer Manufacturing

We partner with world-class foundries and offer wide range of processes including leading edge 5nm, 7nm, 12nm, 16nm for high performance logic, and more mature nodes for analog or mixed signal applications.

Alphawave Semi is a long-standing member of TSMC’s Value Chain Aggregator (VCA) program.

Advanced Packaging

Alphawave Semi provides a complete solution from package selection through design and development, to high-volume manufacturing. We understand the importance of selecting the proper packaging solution to meet the technical and cost constraints of each design.

As part of our investment in chiplets, Alphawave Semi is also leading the revolution in advanced packaging. We have multiple ongoing engagements with advanced 2.5D packaging technologies such as TSMC Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate (CoWoS) and Integrated Fan-Out on Substrate (InFO_oS).

Test, Quality and Supply Chain Management

A team of fab, packaging, test and product engineers work closely with our customer to identify and select the right process technology solution for each design. After RTP (Release to Production) our global manufacturing team ensures that the products meet and exceed the yield and quality targets which is evident by the very low DPPM achieved (average 25 DPPM return rate for over 150 million units shipped).

Open-Silicon Inc., an Alphawave Semi company, is the legal entity operating under the OpenFive brand whose Scope of ISO 9001:2015 Certification is, “Design, Manufacture, and Sales of ASICs utilizing subcontracted Wafer, Fabrication, Assembly and Test Services.”
