Full-service COT


For the highest performance, power and integration

Perfect for high-volume designs that require the highest density and performance, our cell-based ASICs are offered with a selection of IP cores. Additionally, they are available in a range of process technologies—from mature through leading-edge.

From the #1 supplier worldwide, with over 750 tapeouts over the past 3 years

If you're looking for a low price, low-NRE cost (as low as $10,000), easy-to-design option, look no further. Logic consolidation is easy, thanks to a small gate count and small package design. And FPGA-compatible packages are available. In just nine short days from tapeout, we can have engineering samples ready to go.

For fabless IC companies that are looking for a full range of technology and services

NEC Electronics' full-service COT capabilities offer more support than you'd get from a foundry, including value-added IP for eDRAM and other technologies, design support services, packaging and testing options, and engineering innovations that enable low-power solutions.
