Cypress Semiconductor formally opened its Silicon Valley Technology Center (SVTC), a facility where customers develop and characterize silicon-based technologies.

SVTC customers will have access to Cypress' 65nm R&D fab in Silicon Valley and share an established fab infrastructure with other companies in a secure IP environment. The plant provides fab activities on state-of-the-art equipment in a high-quality environment executed by highly skilled R&D technicians and operators, Cypress boasted. The company added that SVTC offers best practices in fab process engineering, statistical process control, failure analysis, and design for manufacturing methodologies as part of its development toolbox.

"SVTC offers its customers an alternative strategy for taking a product from proof-of-concept to manufacturing," said Chris Seams, executive VP of technology and worldwide manufacturing for Cypress, in a statement. "SVTC offers access to state-of-the-art equipment, a broad process-module library, and 22 years of established R&D infrastructure. This is a valuable asset for customers trying to characterize their new technology for manufacturing, where adding new value to the silicon base will be key to differentiation and success."
