AlphaCHIP Innovation Center was established in 1992 to conduct research and development projects for leading semiconductor companies.
In 1993rd, after successfully completed several pilot R&D projects for Semiconductor Products Sector of Motorola, Inc. (USA), a high-tech leader of that time, Motorola SPS and AlphaCHIP signed a long-term contract aimed to performing a wide range of researches in various fields of micro- and nanoelectronics. Under this agreement Motorola, Inc. was the exclusive customer of AlphaCHIP's R&D services and, until 2004th, the all engineering resources of AlphaCHIP were used for the performing projects initiated under the above mentioned agreement with the only exclusive customer. In 2004th, when Motorola, Inc. was split into several separate legal entities, Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. became the assignee of the contract with AlphaCHIP. This R&D contract expired in 2008th. Then AlphaCHIP signed R&D contract with AMI Semiconductor (USA), and later with ON Semiconductor (USA).
In recent years, the list of AlphaCHIP customers has expanded significantly. It includes many leading Russian IT companies, developers and manufacturers of integrated circuits.
Over the past almost 30 years, AlphaCHIP has gained extensive experience in performing comprehensive research in the field of IT solutions related to the development of software products for the design of integrated circuits: memory circuit compilers, synthesis, modeling, verification, characterization and testing of integrated circuits, as well as the development of their components: standard cell libraries, memory circuits, test microchips, complex functional blocks (IP blocks) and custom chips.
The company is actively engaged in research and IT development in the fields of neural networks and artificial intelligence. We are also planning to enter both the global and domestic markets with software products designed for the automation of integrated circuit design. A significant number of know-how solutions have been developed in the areas of design methodologies, algorithm development, and solution optimization across various criteria to enhance product efficiency and improve its consumer characteristics. The company holds a de facto status as a leading organization in the development of import-independent CAD software for digital ICs.
The company's staff includes more than 50 highly qualified specialists in the field of IC CAD and microelectronic device development. The company employs three members of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), four Laureates of the Russian Federation Government Prize in Science and Technology, 20% hold a Ph.D. degree, and there have been 26 victories and prize-winning places in international competitions in artificial intelligence and microelectronics.
AlphaCHIP LLC is included in the register of IT companies of the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation.
