US Foundries(standard cell)?

[Mike_D]

Does anyone know what what foundries are still located in the US? I found a couple, like Honeywell, that are, but they were all a rad-hard process, which is overkill for this design. However, no details of the design can be exported.

Thanks,
Mike

Chartered and IBM are big ones

Chartered is in Singapore Thanks though.

i've heard about foundries for compound semiconductors in NC area. i know that cree has a foundry, not sure of RFMD from the same area. Not for standard cell though.

Chartered and IBM use the same process, but yes, Chartered is outside the US and cheaper.
Some others:
LSI
Freescale
TI
AMI
Atmel
Areoflex
Cypress
Lattice
Actel
If I think of more, I'll post.

The biggest and most mainstream US foundries have already been named. There are a few other niche/specialty merchant foundries I can think of:

Jazz Semiconductor (Irvine, Califronia)
Lucent? (long time ago, when they were still part of AT&T?)

Why does it have to be in the US ?
Chip could be designed anywhere and shipped over to you.


Also some of the foundries mentioned are pretty low-tech for todays standards...

What geometry do you want 0.18 / 0.13 / 0.09 ..... ?

Thinkie, some military and space customers require the designs be sent only to "trusted" foundries.

Freescale is now fabless..

and intel

Intel fabs are for Intel designs only. They don't provide fab services to customers.

Freescale is now fabless..

I don't think so...
