AI chip designer Hailo is to use Avnet ASIC to develop its next generation of devices.
Using Avnet ASIC, a business division of distributor Avnet Silica, provides access to the TSMC’s manufacturing capability, engineering support, production management, and process integration. The company has experience supporting chip production at 3nm and has access to TSMC’s upcoming 2nm technologies, although Avnet ASIC says these are not currently on the roadmap.
Avnet ASIC has already completed two previous chip designs with Hailo, providing technical expertise across the chip development lifecycle, from design enablement to high-volume production. The team supports customers with tapeout procedures, product management, and supply chain management.
“Our collaboration with Avnet ASIC strengthens our AI processor production,” said Ina Shternberg, VP of Quality and Operations at Hailo. “This partnership ensures that we have engineering-driven support, high manufacturing standards, and access to TSMC’s most advanced silicon processes, giving us confidence in both quality and efficiency.”
TSMC’s programme provides mid-sized companies with access to its advanced fabrication processes through certified partners. This allows Hailo to focus on its core engineering activities instead of interacting directly with TSMC.
“TSMC has certified only a limited number of VCA partners worldwide, and Avnet ASIC’s extensive experience in design and production management enables us to provide high-value technical and product services, empowering companies like Hailo to bring innovative products to market efficiently,” said Yulia Milshtein, GM, Head of Business at Avnet ASIC
Avnet ASIC provides complete ASIC and COT services for design houses and electronic system companies that develop advanced SoC devices. It partners with TSMC, OSATs, leading IP and CAD vendors to provide services from specification to mass production services.
