Silterra Malaysia Sdn.
Bhd. and Goyatek today announced that the companies have entered
into an agreement to jointly develop and support fabless semiconductor
customers worldwide. Goyatek will provide complete integrated
circuit (IC) design and silicon intellectual property (IP) service
while Silterra will provide wafer foundry services. The companies
plan to focus on product designs requiring process technologies
at 0.18- and 0.13-micron and below.
"Customers have multiple requirements and Goyatek, with
our total customer satisfaction philosophy, is now able to provide
a complete solution with the addition of the Silterra partnership,"
said David Chung, President of Goyatek. "Our goal is to
provide the best¡Vin-class solutions and services, from design
through wafer fabrication to final assembly and testing, to
our customers. We anticipate the partnership with Silterra will
further strengthen our market leadership position."
Silterra, a leading wafer foundry headquartered in Malaysia,
provides world-class CMOS technology manufacturing capability.
Goyatek is a top-tier design service provider located in Taiwan
with extensive IC and IP design experience in numerous application
segments.
"Our alliance with Goyatek enables us to expand our customer
base and raise our support level significantly," said Bruce
Gray, Chief Executive Officer of Silterra. "Our superior,
leading foundry matched technologies fit very well with Goyatek's
immense design capabilities. The synergy between the companies
will provide enormous benefits to our customers."
The complexity of today's system-on-chip (SoC) designs
requires engineers with technical expertise in a wide range
of areas. The specialization not only fosters the interdependence
of semiconductor suppliers and design service providers, but
also makes the close relationship between the design company
and wafer foundry paramount. Through this partnership, Goyatek
is able to provide ASIC turnkey services with designs that take
full advantage of Silterra's advanced process technologies
for the best yield and shortest time to market.
