Welcome to Toshiba ASIC & Foundry

Advanced CMOS technology for ASIC & Foundry business including full service supply chain management

With Toshiba you can expect the in-house expertise and support that comes with a global organisation that will get you from design to implementation to manufacturing. Toshiba’s technology intensive products will ensure that its customers remain competitive in the market place as the need to produce more sophisticated and higher value added products increases. Toshiba's application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) will provide the defining edge that exceeds expectations.

Toshiba’s customers can select from gate arrays, cell-based ICs, embedded arrays, Toshiba’s new Universal Array^™, custom system-on-chip (SoC) and foundry service depending on performance and time-to-market objectives.

To meet the new challenges of 65nm and beyond, Toshiba has introduced an open and advanced integrated-device-manufacturer (IDM) model, to enable closer co-operation between Toshiba and its customers right from the start of a new project. This will ensure the highest performance, lowest power, most reliable and highest quality implementation, with first-time right silicon for minimum time-to-market.
