USMAG Alliance
National security and government applications focus on securing vital information systems and decision networks, requiring scalable design and production capabilities. Securing these chips requires end-to-end capabilities across the semiconductor design and manufacturing life cycle. A closely coordinated effort between leading-edge manufacturers and their EDA, IP and design service partners is crucial to deliver the functional and operational security required by MAG applications.
As the only U.S.-based foundry with the leading-edge process capabilities, Intel Foundry Services (IFS) is uniquely positioned to lead the effort and collaborate with trusted partners to bring state-of-the-art U.S.-based microelectronic design and manufacturing to serve national security and government applications. The IFS United State Military, Aerospace and Government (USMAG) alliance, built on IFS’ leadership role in the U.S. Department of Defense Rapid Assured Microelectronics Prototypes - Commercial (RAMP-C) program, will ensure that EDA tools are optimized to deliver secure design methodologies and flows and enabled to operate in secure design environments, while meeting the requirements of IFS’ process design kits (PDKs). IFS will also work with IP partners to deliver design IP blocks that serve MAG specifications on quality and reliability. The USMAG alliance will provide a secure and scalable path for customers to deploy designs that fully achieve the unique requirements of MAG applications.
The current partners of the IFS Accelerator - USMAG Alliance include:
“It’s critical that customers creating government applications have an optimal path to deliver innovative designs that meet stringent national security requirements. By joining the new IFS USMAG Alliance, we’re committed to staying in front of U.S. domestic design requirements and providing mutual customers with secure access to Cadence’s EDA solutions and IP optimized for Intel’s advanced manufacturing processes so they can design with confidence.”
-- Dr. Anirudh Devgan, President and CEO of Cadence
“Revitalizing the defense microelectronics ecosystem is critical to our nation’s economic and national security. As a Department of Defense Trusted Supplier, we will deliver trusted services to the alliance and IP and design solutions for aerospace, defense and government applications. We look forward to working with IFS to ensure tomorrow’s systems are as secure as possible.”
-- Dr. Jerry Wohletz, President and CEO, Draper
“As a charter member of multiple IFS Accelerator alliances, Siemens has been working closely with IFS to provide software solutions that are tuned to help mutual customers get the most out of Intel process and packaging technologies. Siemens is pleased to now also join the IFS USMAG Alliance, to provide the same capabilities for EDA, IP and design experts working closely to meet the stringent quality, reliability and performance requirements of the military and aerospace markets.”
-- Joe Sawicki, Executive Vice President, IC-EDA
“Revitalizing advanced semiconductor technology manufacturing in the United States will bring huge benefits to the nation’s electronics sector. Intel Foundry Services’ new USMAG Alliance forms a key component in that revitalization, and, as a Department of Defense Trusted Supplier, we will deliver trusted services to the alliance and optimized EDA and IP solutions for aerospace and government applications. Together with the IFS ecosystem, we are accelerating the development of a new generation of chip designs.”
-- Deirdre Hanford, Chief Security Officer and Head of Government Affairs, Synopsys
“Trusted Semiconductor Solutions is delighted to be part of Intel Foundry Services’ USMAG Alliance. The combination of Intel’s advanced process technology and our design services enable next-generation microelectronics for critical military, aerospace and government systems. Together we can offer our customers state-of-the-art semiconductors designed and made in the United States.”
-- Stephanie Pusch, Co-Founder and Executive Vice President, Trusted Semiconductor Solutions
