Common Heterogeneous integration & IP reuse Strategies (CHIPS)
Abstract
The Common Heterogeneous integration & IP reuse Strategies (CHIPS) program aims to develop the design tools and integration standards required to better leverage leading-edge commercial sector technologies in DoD systems. The program aims to realize modular integrated circuits (ICs) that integrate designs using different commercial suppliers, silicon technologies, and compound semiconductor (CS) materials. Although integrating CS and silicon has been shown to increase the performance of radio frequency devices, integration is both costly and time consuming. CHIPS will therefore pursue standardized interfaces for integrating a variety of intellectual property (IP) blocks, including for CS and silicon materials, in the form of prefabricated chiplets. The chiplets could be reused across applications, manufacturers, and transistor types, allowing DoD to amortize IC design costs across programs, better align electronics design and fabrication with military performance goals, and expand beyond its traditional reliance on the proprietary capabilities of a few on-shore manufacturers.
