Frontgrade's Partner SkyWater Announces Expansion of 90 nm Rad-Hard Platform IP Ecosystem
Frontgrade's (formerly CAES) partner SkyWater Technology announced yesterday that the Department of Defense is investing to expand the intellectual property (IP) ecosystem for their 90 nm radiation-hardened (rad-hard) by process offering.
As previously announced, Frontgrade partnered with SkyWater earlier this year to leverage their expertise in the design, testing, qualification and manufacturing of rad-hard high reliability integrated circuits and system-in-package solutions to enable ecosystem partners to collaborate on furthering U.S. national security missions. Frontgrade will lead SkyWater through qualification; a very rigorous effort including radiation testing and reliability testing. Productization and qualification of SkyWater’s RH90 and the development of IP design libraries will enable Frontgrade and ecosystem design and manufacturing partners to produce processors, security engines, memory, interface devices application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and other strategic applications for mil/aero and commercial markets.
“Next generation systems will need to operate in very complex, demanding radiation environments, and we are proud to partner with SkyWater on their development for aerospace and defense markets. Frontgrade brings decades of radiation hardening expertise and combining our technical capabilities with SkyWater’s RH90 platform will provide the industry with solutions to meet the demands of the future,” said Mike Kahn, CEO, Frontgrade.
