MILPITAS, CA--(Marketwire - September 10, 2008) - Open-Silicon, Inc., the leading fabless ASIC
company providing the most reliable, predictable and cost-effective
alternative to traditional chip design and supply chain models, today
announced completion of the 100th tapeout. The company, founded in 2003,
reached this historic milestone in only the fifth year of operations.
"One hundred tapeouts within five years is a tremendous accomplishment and
one that few other ASIC companies have achieved," said Naveed Sherwani, CEO
and president. "While we continue to attract new customers and expand into
new markets, it's significant to note that many of our customers are taping
out their second or even third designs with us. This is a testament to the
technical expertise of our design teams, our ability to complete designs on
time with first-pass silicon success and our excellent customer service."
"Strong worldwide demand for Open-Silicon's technology in the advanced
process nodes, in particular 65nm and 45nm, will drive our continued rapid
growth in 2009 and beyond," said Chitra Hariharan, senior director of
engineering. "We are aggressively investing in our engineering
methodology and technology infrastructure so that customers moving to 45nm
will continue to enjoy the same industry-leading predictability and
reliability as our current 90nm and 65nm customers."
