Foundry

Abstract

This activity implements multiple foundries process design kit (PDK) environments ensuring the government is not dependent on one single source for critical components. Demonstrate hardware through dedicated and multi-project wafer runs at multiple foundries. Commercial foundries generate enormous amounts of data on their processes as a best practice for quality assurance to improve reliability and increase yield. The Foundry program collects and utilizes this data to generate and allow quantitative comparison of performance and security metrics in the design and test stage of the microelectronics lifecycle, thereby mitigating risk.
