Intel Foundry gains new defense clients for 18A process

Intel Foundry secures defense contracts with Trusted Semiconductor Solutions and Reliable MicroSystems, highlighting confidence in its 18A manufacturing process.

www.techtarget.com, Jan. 21, 2025 – 

Intel Foundry, the chipmaker's manufacturing subsidiary, has added two companies to its roster of customers using its advanced fabrication process to produce semiconductors for the defense industry. The additional customers signify that companies are gaining confidence in Intel's 18A manufacturing process.

On Friday, Intel Foundry reported that Trusted Semiconductor Solutions and Reliable MicroSystems agreed to have the vendor manufacture their chips under the federal Rapid Assured Microelectronics Prototypes - Commercial project. RAMP-C is a Defense Department initiative started in 2021 to rebuild a U.S. commercial foundry network for manufacturing custom integrated circuits and commercial products for defense systems.

Trusted Semiconductor Solutions and Reliable Microsystems have agreed to use the 18A process and advanced packaging. Trusted Semiconductor Solutions designs radiation-hardened microelectronics for the military, defense and space industries. Reliable MicroSystems designs electronics used to model and mitigate radiation effects.

Last year, Intel demonstrated working chips built by the foundry, including the AI PC processor Panther Lake and the Xeon server processor Clearwater Forest. The next critical test of the 18A process will occur when Intel starts manufacturing the chips at scale this year.
