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, HPC, data center, networking and storage.

Design Characteristics:

  • Large Die Sizes: > 400mm²
  • CPU Hardening: >64 multi-core/multi-cluster, >3GHz
  • High-Bandwidth Memory Interfaces: HBM3, DDR5, LPDDR5
  • High-Speed Connectivity Interfaces: 112G & 224G SerDes, PCIe Gen6/CXL 3.0, 10M to 400G/800G/1.6T Ethernet, UCIe 1.1 D2D

Wafer Manufacturing

We partner with world-class foundries – TSMC, Global Foundries, Intel Foundry and Samsung – and offer a wide range of processes including leading-edge 3nm, 5nm, 7nm 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.

Alphawave Semi collaborates with TSMC, Intel Foundry and Samsung as a member of the Arm Total Design ecosystem.

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 Alphawave Semi brand whose Scope of ISO 9001:2015 Certification is, “Design, Manufacture, and Sales of ASICs utilizing subcontracted Wafer, Fabrication, Assembly and Test Services.”
