Capgemini introduced its plans to open semiconductor design companies facilities throughout Europe to help Intel’s strengthened program of chip manufacturing and ecosystem design companies.
As a founding member of the brand new Intel Foundry Providers (IFS) Accelerator Design Providers Alliance, Capgemini, along with IFS and different IFS Accelerator ecosystem companions, goals to present a full vary of modern chip design, manufacturing and semiconductor ecosystem companies to IFS prospects. The initiative will assist strengthen the manufacturing capability of next-generation semiconductors in Europe to higher help regional corporations and construct resilience within the European semiconductor provide chains, consistent with the strategic objectives of the European Chips Act.
William Rozé, CEO of Capgemini Engineering and Group Government Board Member, stated, “In collaboration with Intel and the alliance companions, Capgemini is driving the subsequent technology of semiconductor innovation, scaling its silicon engineering experience consistent with the brand new Intel Foundry Providers enterprise. Increasing entry to forefront chip design for Intel Foundry Providers prospects, we’ll contribute to make companies extra available inside Europe and to assist meet the fast-growing market demand within the area.”
Capgemini is planning the formation of design facilities in Europe, to supply time zone-friendly assets and help for European prospects of IFS. Preliminary facilities in France and Portugal will deliver collectively chip design and embedded software program groups.
The design facilities will supply silicon engineering experience gained from over 15 years of expertise in chip design throughout all markets and expertise domains, from 5G, to hyperscaler, automotive, industrial, IoT, networking, wi-fi connectivity, Synthetic Intelligence/Machine Studying, medical, protection, and so on., in addition to deep expertise working with Intel’s newest course of and packaging applied sciences. The extremely expert groups will be capable to tackle essentially the most difficult sub-7nm chip designs[1] for the newest technology of high-performance and ‘clever’ merchandise for any market.
Silicon engineering companies accessible to IFS prospects will embody:
- Finish-to-end chip design, together with frontend design & verification (digital and/or analog) and backend (bodily design) companies to help sovereignty and safety
- Course of migration companies, to assist prospects port present IP or SoC (System on a chip) designs from different business main fabs for manufacturing in IFS nodes and processes
- Submit-silicon validation, to assist purchasers validate the performance, efficiency, and energy effectivity of their designs after manufacturing
- Embedded software program, board, and system {hardware} help, to assist prospects tailor their chips for product growth for finish markets. Product engineering companies are additionally accessible.
