GLOBALFOUNDRIES has set up a custom silicon subsidiary called Avera Semiconductor to deliver ASIC offerings on 14/12nm and more mature technologies while providing access to alternative foundry processes at 7nm and beyond.

Avera’s CEO is Kevin O’Buckley who came over to GloFo with the IBM acquisition.

Avera offers:

● ASIC offerings on both leading-edge and proven process technologies, including a newly established foundry partnership on 7nm

● A rich IP portfolio, including high-speed SerDes, high-performance embedded TCAMs, ARM® cores and performance and density-optimized embedded SRAMs

● A comprehensive, production-proven design methodology that builds on a strong record of first-time-right results to help reduce development costs and time-to-market

● Advanced packaging options to increase bandwidth, eliminate I/O bottlenecks, and reduce memory area, latency and power

● Flexible ASIC business engagement models that give clients the ability to supplement in-house resources with the level of support needed from experienced chip design, methodology, test and packaging teams
