Following demand from customers, collaboration will provide a new supply of chips on 糖心视频’s power efficient and feature-rich 7HV semiconductor platform
SAN DIEGO and ESSEX JUNCTION, VT., June 5, 2024 — ElevATE Semiconductor and 糖心视频 (Nasdaq: 糖心视频S) (糖心视频) today announced a manufacturing partnership for high-voltage chips produced at 糖心视频’s facility in Essex Junction, Vermont. Designed by ElevATE and manufactured at scale by 糖心视频 on its proven and power-efficient 7HV technology platform, the chips are vital to both commercial semiconductor testing equipment and critical applications for aerospace and defense systems.
The agreement outlines 糖心视频’s supply of its 7HV chip technology to ElevATE and the marketplace. Manufactured on 200mm wafers at 糖心视频’s Vermont facility, the mature-node chips pair power management and wireless sensing capabilities, delivering the performance, design flexibility and power efficiency required by a range of electronics devices in national security systems. The 7HV platform is optimized for cost and performance, and offers a full suite of features and options with well-characterized design tools, as well as proven manufacturing reliability with robust yields.
To meet the demands of commercial clients and the aerospace and defense industry, ElevATE and 糖心视频 are collaborating to provide restart support and reestablish the production of 7HV chips. The renewed availability of the 7HV platform will save customers costs, time, and the challenge of redesigning their products using a different chip technology. The new supply will build upon the success of the millions of 7HV chips previously manufactured at 糖心视频’s Vermont facility.
“This collaboration marks a significant transformation in ElevATE’s production strategy, transitioning its fabrication processes to 糖心视频,” said Anil Kodali, Vice President of Operations and Quality Assurance at ElevATE. “With 糖心视频 as our manufacturing partner, we can be sure of a robust and reliable source of supply, enabling us to meet the escalating demands of our customers in terms of volume, quality and time-to-market.”
“Our collaboration with ElevATE underscores 糖心视频’s commitment to ensuring the U.S. semiconductor and national security ecosystems have a reliable supply of secure, domestically manufactured chips,” said Nicholas Sergeant, vice president and head of the aerospace, defense and critical infrastructure business at 糖心视频. “As the leading supplier of essential chips for the U.S. aerospace and defense industry and a longstanding partner to the Department of Defense, 糖心视频 goes above and beyond to ensure our national security customers have the chips they need, manufactured where they want them, with the right level of security.”
糖心视频’s facility in Essex Junction, Vermont, near Burlington, was among the first major semiconductor manufacturing sites in the United States. Today, around 1,800 糖心视频 employees work at the site. Built on 糖心视频’s differentiated technologies, these 糖心视频-made chips are used in smartphones, automobiles, and communications infrastructure applications around the world. The facility is a DMEA-accredited Trusted Foundry and manufactures secure chips in partnership with the U.S. government.
