Delivering the industry's most comprehensive set of device options tailored to customers' diverse design requirements, Altera Corporation today announced its portfolio of 28-nm devices. Altera is providing customers clearly differentiated solutions across the new Cyclone V and Arria V FPGA families, the recently expanded Stratix V FPGA and previously announced HardCopy V ASIC families.

NXP Semiconductors and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd. have announced their cooperation to deliver the industry’s first single-chip 45nm global LCD TV platform, TV550. With NXP already delivering the engineering samples to its lead customers, NXP and TSMC have reached a major milestone in enabling the next generation of mainstream digital TV sets for TV manufacturers.

austriamicrosystems business unit Full Service Foundry expands its fast and cost-efficient ASIC prototyping service, known as Multi-Project Wafer (MPW) or shuttle run, in 2010 with a more extensive schedule. The service which combines several designs from different customers onto one wafer offers significant cost advantages for foundry customers as the costs for wafer and masks are shared among a number of different shuttle participants.

Synopsys announced that it is delivering comprehensive design enablement for TSMC’s 28 nanometer (nm) process technology with TSMC Reference Flow 11.0. New features of the flow include solutions for system-level design and verification, added capabilities for 28-nm design, including In-Design physical verification, and support for thru-silicon via (TSV) technology for 3D IC design. Through Reference Flow 11.0, Synopsys tools and IP enable enhan...

Synopsys announced that it has collaborated with TSMC to validate Synopsys’ custom design solution with TSMC’s 28-nanometer (nm) interoperable process design kit (iPDK) and Analog/Mixed-Signal (AMS) Reference Flow 1.0. TSMC’s 28nm reference phase-locked loop (PLL) design was used to validate Synopsys’ comprehensive custom solution while demonstrating productivity-enhancing capabilities of the TSMC AMS Reference Flow 1.0. The validated sol...

Synopsys announced that its IC Validator physical verification product is qualified for TSMC's 40-nm and 65-nm interoperable DRC/LVS runsets, and is immediately available to TSMC customers. IC Validator, part of the Galaxy™ Implementation Platform, is an ideal add-on to IC Compiler for In-Design physical verification. By enabling physical verification within the implementation flow, IC Validator enables place and route engineers to accelerate t...

Xilinx today announced the beginning of the 7 series FPGA rollout with shipment of the first Kintex-7 K325T Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), marking the industry's fastest product rollout of next generation programmable logic devices built with 28nm technology.

Imec and Altos Design Automation, Inc. today announce that they have entered into an agreement to set up a library re-characterization service based on Altos ultra-fast characterization tools. With this collaboration, imec will extend its ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) prototyping and volume fabrication service with library re-characterization which is essential when designing in 65nm and 40nm nodes.

Imec and TSMC today announced the extension of imec’s Europractice IC service with the offering of TSMC’s 40 nanometer technologies. Subsequent to the close collaboration between imec and TSMC on advanced technology research and development, both companies will offer TSMC’s CybershuttleTM Multi-Project Wafer (MPW) platform for IC prototyping and production services to European companies and academia.

Cadence Design Systems, Inc. today announced that it has collaborated with TSMC to provide mutual customers access to a library characterization reference kit. The Cadence Library Characterizer (Altos Liberate) reference kit for TSMC’s standard cell libraries is now available to TSMC customers for download on TSMC-Online.
