Flexible turnkey services to match your needs
Need additional support and services with your chip manufacturing? By utilizing its partner network, imec offers you a complete range – from design to product qualification.
Design and IP services
IC-Link combines its own team of chip design specialists with those of our design partner network to tailor the design team depending on the needs of your application and taking into account your entry point in the design flow.
We are also your access point to an extensive IP partner network as well as selected imec IP, providing solutions for many markets in a broad range of technologies.
Assembly and advanced package design services
IC-Link provides prototype and volume packaging through leading assembly houses. Our team and partners can support a wide range of packaging options ranging from wire bond to flip-chip and 2.5D/3D package designs.
Our team will work with you to identify the optimal packaging solution based on your requirements and then design and manufacture the targeted package.
Test, qualification and production optimization services
To test your chips, test software and hardware are developed through IC-Link partners. For certain technologies, we also offer full qualification services, covering a range of qualification requirements (consumer, industrial, medical, space).
After successful corner lots, volume risk production can start with yield monitoring and improvement during the ramp-up phase. And once your chip is qualified and running in high volumes, the test solution can be transferred to low-cost test houses.
Volume production with a tailored supply chain
From just buying processed wafers to fully outsourcing the supply chain and purchasing fully qualified, tested and assembled chips, the choice is yours. We offer everything from:
- a flexible ‘easy’ COT model (customer owned tooling), where IC-Link facilitates the supply chain
- right up to a robust full turnkey business model
Failure analysis and troubleshooting quickly get to the root cause of any problem and ensure a successful transition to volume production. During the product lifecycle, the business model can be adapted to meet changing requirements.
