(408) 774-2199 (408) 522-9450 Gate Arrays and Standard Cell Libraries ASIC Technology Supplier

Company Philosophy: ASPEC Technology, Inc. is a pioneer and leader in providing Open Design Implementation Technology (DIT) to ASIC vendors, IC companies and systems houses. Open Design Implementation provides a standard, open link between design automation and silicon manufacturing. Although many semiconductor companies have proprietary DIT, ASPEC promotes and leads the category for open DIT tools. ASPECÕs Open DIT is based upon its patented High Density (HD) architectures and has been adopted by major semiconductor companies, including industry leaders such as IDT, National Semiconductor, Samsung, and Winbond. ASPECÕs Products and Services ASPECÕs business model is uniquely focused in the DIT space. Therefore, unlike other competitors who try to offer both DIT and EDA offerings, ASPECÕs products and services are targeted to solve customer issues within the DIT area. •

HDA architecture licensing: ASPEC provides a range of HD Architecture for gate arrays, standard cells and embedded arrays that have been proven in more than 500 design. These benchmark winning architectures deliver 27% to 60% higher density than competitive architectures with up to 50% lower power consumption and up to 15% higher performance. ASPECÕs patented technology has been licensed to more than 30 processes and four generations of process technologies ranging from 0.8µm to 0.35µ technology with a path to 0.1µ.

¥

Libraries & design kits: ASPECÕs physical libraries and design kits provide support for the HD architecture family. Libraries support synthesis, simulation and layout and they interface with major third-party EDA tools and silicon manufacturers. ASPEC also provides front- and back-end libraries targeted for ASIC manufacturing, including gate array masterslices and macrocell characterization tools. Customers can purchase existing libraries and kits from ASPEC, and if requested ASPEC can develop a new, customer specific design kit within 45 days.



Design portability: ASPEC can reduce IC process porting to hours with their layout-level porting software, QuickPort. QuickPort solves the time-to-volume and silicon cost issue by porting the IC design at the layout level to the target process, and optimizing for the target process parameters. In less than one hour per 100,000 gates, QuickPort produces a new layout for the design team to verify timing and quickly go to production.

ASPEC Technology, Inc. (continued) •

Design software: ASPEC supports all popular EDA software products allowing their customers to continue working in existing, productive environments. ADVER Pro is the key to this interface, providing design modeling and management software that links EDA and DIT.



Design services: ASPEC is committed to providing excellent customer design assistance from start-to-finish. ASPEC takes on more than 20 designs each year, requiring that their engineers have a thorough knowledge of all EDA tools and foundries specified by their customers.

Company Philosophy: Austria Mikro Systeme International AG, or AMS, specializes in the development and production of ASICs. The company provides a continuum of custom and semicustom MOS/VLSI capabilities, including full custom circuits, standard cells, and high performance analog and digital cells in CMOS and BiCMOS technologies. AMS offers its customers its integrated design environment facility and its full in-house silicon foundry service. AMS' "all under one roof" strategyÑresearch and development, design engineering, mask lithography, wafer fabrication, assembly and testÑhas placed the company in a strong position within the market segments telecommunications, automotive, and industrial electronics. All AMS quality assurance activities are based upon ISO 9001 since AMS holds the European CECC 90 000 certification. Austria Mikro Systeme has participation in SAMES (South African MicroElectronic Systems) and in Thesys Gesellschaft fŸr Mikroelektronik in Germany - both ASIC specialists. The strategy of the Group, under the slogan Òvertical globalÓ,(i.e., to work and communicate in the same time zone and therefore to be present for the customer), provides the AMS Group with the possibility of opening additional markets in Europe and other continents and to utilize its know how worldwide.

Company Philosophy Chip Express provides the electronics industry with comprehensive ASIC services featuring the Time-to-Market Solution ¨. The companyÕs product, called LPGA (Laser Programmable Gate Array), is a silicon customized gate array fabricated with a patented technology. The LPGA delivers true ASIC performance with a seamless migration path from one day prototypes to one week low volume/pre-production and one month high volume production. Chip Express has developed a series of unique capabilities that allow customization of gate arrays outside of conventional fabs, enabling fast turn-around, significant flexibility, risk reduction, and competitive production cost. LPGAs are produced employing a patented disconnect methodology, where the base wafers are fabricated with all interconnection layers fully completed. Chip ExpressÕ proprietary techniques are used to selectively remove specific metallization points to personalize the arrays. Rapid prototyping service is provided utilizing the proprietary QuICk ¨ laser micro-machining system to personalize one die at a time, in a couple of hours. The low volume/pre-production is provided using the OneMask¨ technology to personalize a single wafer at a time. Cost-effective mass production is provided by using TwoMaskª personalization technology at conventional fabs. Chip Express services leading edge communications, computer, and military customers such as 3Com, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, IBM, National Semiconductor, Xerox, Hughes, and Boeing.

Company Philosophy: Easics is an independent ASIC design company, using a design methodology based on VHDL and logic synthesis. The design can be targeted to different ASIC technologies or can be prototyped in a FPGA or a LPGA. EasicsÕ know-how is based on a unique combination of VHDL design experience and systemlevel expertise in domains such as telecommunications (ATM, SDH, SONET) and digital signal processing. EasicsÕ designs digital ASICs, starting from a functional requirements specification of the device, and transfers a testable netlist to the customer or to the foundry for back-end work. Easics verifies the design by performing timing analysis on the backannotated netlist. Currently, Easics is focusing on issues for design reuse. For this reason, Easics is now a member of the VSI alliance.
