Design Service
This business model is attractive to those companies that want to manage the manufacturing of their product on their own but need a design service provider for the backend design work. The customer can choose which point to hand-off the design database: with written RTL, logic netlist, or placed-gates. Depending on a customer's considerations, they may hand-off a design at placed-gates if they want to do their own low-level gate placement optimization on one design and hand-off another design at RTL if they need to conserve internal staffing or cost.  This flexibility in hand-off point enables a customer to focus on their core expertise.  IPCore will complete the remainder of the design work and validate the design with a comprehensive set of tapeout verification checks.  After a sign-off review of the work and verification results, IPCore will transfer a GDSII database, ready to be sent to the target foundry, back to the customer.  IPCore has high success in first-time working silicon, and the design work is backed by a warranty.
