Innosilicon Achieves World-First Tapeout Success on SMIC N+1 Process

Zhuhai, China, October 13, 2020 -- Innosilicon, as a global one-stop provider of IP and ASIC customization, has achieved the world-first tapeout success on the advanced SMIC FinFET N+1 process with all the function tests passed in one stroke. This marks a significant milestone of the process iterations and joint efforts in the past few months.

Powered by its full pack of high-bandwidth and high performance computing technologies, Innosilicon continues to focus on IP and ASIC customization and has a demonstrated track record of multiple successes in advanced processes. It has supported the mass production of billions of high-end SOCs for global customers.

Since 2019, while the SMIC's N+1 process has yet to mature, the Innosilicon team has invested tens of millions of yuan in design optimization and made every effort to accomplish the NTO tapeout. This very first chip based on the N+1 process has undergone multiple rounds of test iterations in the past few month, helping SMIC break through the bottleneck in the production yield on N+1 process.

Through a close collaboration with the world’s famous foundry SMIC, Innosilicon has enabled dozens of global customers to achieve silicon success in both mature process nodes (55nm, 40nm, 28nm, 22nm, etc.) and advanced nodes (FinFET 14nm, 12nm, 7nm). With large-scaled IP authorization and customized mass production of high-end SOC in various advanced processes (including GDDR6, Chiplet, Serdes etc.), Innosilicon has been awarded as “Best IP Partner” by SMIC for multiple times .

Today, Innosilicon’s innovation capabilities are demonstrated in the success of this NTO tapeout verification, the first industry-wide benchmark for new SMIC N+1 technology.
