Recently, a Silicon Valley semiconductor industry Silicon Catalyst bred agency officially opened, the goal is the revival of the Silicon Valley chip design industry; The agency currently has three under development and new start-ups were cheap power chip expertise, 2.5D stacked IC and Bluetooth ID tag . Silicon Catalyst CEO Dan Armbrust, said the three companies will as a "pioneer", while institutions will provide them with the tools they need office space as well as to raise funds, and is expected in June will be filled in the first round presence in the breeding startups quota mechanism. Silicon Catalyst so far and more than 70 new companies to negotiate, most of these companies complained that the current funding, needed tools and related services is not easy to obtain. In response to the new companies' needs, Silicon Catalyst outside published last December Keysight, Imec, Synopsys and TSMC (TSMC) and other partners, we have added several tools and service provider partners, including Advantest, Autodesk and PDF Solutions. ACP Semiconductors Silicon Catalyst is stationed in one of the three new record company now, the company plans to launch a series of integrated analog power elements, began locking the industrial and urban LED lighting systems; ACP CEO Lou Scalzo said that at present the company has six member, is served in the National Semiconductor (Editor's note: TI has been acquired) senior analogy with Micrel's experts. Another startup company called zGlue, is developing an innovative fiber for connecting bare crystal silicon intermediary layer; the company will be in the form of chip design services to provide its technology, and expect to be in a few weeks in the end raised $ 2 million round of financing, as the funds TSMC for an anonymous customer development of the first product. As an engineer, has been involved in the development of Intel (Intel) of Xeonz processor and zGlue CEO of Samsung (Samsung) the Exynos processor Ming Zhang, said: "Our goal is to provide a 2.5D chip stack, and the cost is only about a small printed circuit board. " There is also a presence Silicon Catalyst startups is BuzzTagg, is designing a low-power Bluetooth ID tag, the cost can be as low as $ 2, designed for commercial applications to create; BuzzTagg CEO Michael Matthys said, the element now to FPGA in the form of on-site testing, the goal is sensing distance of 10 to 50 meters, 2 to 4 years of battery life. At the opening press conference in Silicon Valley, Silicon Catalyst Avaya Stadium football field at the local, well-known technology writer Michael Malone comment said: "Following the development of a variety of applications can imagine, it is a great platform to build next, and return to us technical root ──IC time.
