iSTART-TEK announced that it has successfully assisted a well-known chip design company in China in completing its 55nm eFlash process chip design project. The collaboration covered the entire flow, from front-end IP evaluation and eFlash BIST IP design to back-end APR (Automatic Place and Route) and turnkey tape-out services, demonstrating iSTART-TEK’s comprehensive capabilities in design services and process integration.
The partner company, a leading chip design firm focused on automotive and industrial safety applications, specializes in high-security MCU chips. In this project, iSTART-TEK leveraged its self-developed eFlash BIST IP to help the customer achieve high test coverage and process-compliant memory testing. By integrating a comprehensive IC design service platform—covering design verification, physical design, and mass production—iSTART-TEK provides a one-stop delivery capability that allows customers to focus on innovation in chip architecture and system applications.
iSTART-TEK stated that this collaboration not only proves its strong technical expertise in eFlash process and BIST solutions but also reinforces its position in the high-reliability chip design service market. Moving forward, iSTART-TEK will continue to advance its memory test and repair technologies, expand to more process nodes and application domains, and help customers accelerate their time to market.
