Welcome to Silicon-IP, Inc!

Silicon-IP, Inc. is the first and only independent company that provides outsourcing to silicon design teams for due diligence & license negotiations of 3rd party IP procurement.  We provide the unique capability to operate as the industry's independent agent to aggregate the 3rd party Silicon-IP requirement from many small- to medium- sized silicon design teams.  Deliverables to silicon design teams include technical and quality due diligence & license negotiation of 3rd party IP. 

 

Dis-aggregate Production Supply-chain

 

Now even the smallest and newest design teams have access to the same or better knowledge, insight, and implementation skills used by the largest semiconductor companies without the expensive cost of a dedicated, full-time team of technical and business professionals.  There is the added benefit that silicon design teams can then focus their core competencies on HW/SW integration and not the highly replicated, standard business procedure of IP procurement.   

 

Larger Together

 

As an outsourced service, we provide the unique capability to operate as an independent agent that aggregates 3rd party Silicon-IP requirements from many design teams.

 

Experts Only - No Overhead

 

Silicon-IP assembles a team of past foundry colleagues, silicon designers, and EDA professionals that are also experts in evaluating and implementing 3rd party IP in SoC chip designs.  These hand-crafted teams are formed to satisfy the specific customer needs for the activities  requested from Silicon-IP, Inc.

Kurt Wolf is Founder and President of Silicon-IP, Inc.
