American Owned & Operated
We are an EDA (Electronic Design Automation) company and IC (Integrated Circuit) design house that specializes in high performance chips and the software to create them. We supply the entire EDA tool suite, circuits (IP), Process Design Kits (PDK’s) with logic cells, and run Multi-project Wafers (MPW), and help design the entire Systems In a package (SIP’s).
Western Semiconductor has the automation, and know-how to migrate customers from FPGAs (and old ASICs) to FinFET ASICs.
A senior engineer equipped with quality automation will slay industry goliaths.
