01
Design for Manufacturability
Full-stack DFM for 2.5D and 3D-IC covering micro-bump pitch, RDL routing, thermal constraints, warpage risk, SI/PI simulations, and assembly yield modeling before masks are committed.
AI-Accelerated Chiplet Design by Chiplet.US
Designed for Yield.
Accelerated by AI.
Chiplet.US helps teams move from architecture to package with fewer blind spots. We combine chiplet architecture, DFM, test vehicles, IC design, and advanced packaging so the package is treated as a first-order system constraint, not a late-stage detail.
Architecture + package co-planning
UCIe and custom D2D evaluation
AI-assisted DFM and yield analysis
Test vehicles before production risk
Architecture to Package
Integrated design chain from concept through assembly
AI-assisted Workflows
Faster DFM, partition exploration, and packaging review
2.5D and 3D-IC
Interposer, bridge, and stacked-die programs
Capabilities
Design and build for multi-die systems
A stage-gated process built for chiplet and 3D-IC programs where architecture, DFM, test vehicles, design, and packaging must close together.
02
Chiplet System Architecture
Die partition strategy across compute, memory, I/O, and analog domains so package cost, NRE, and PPA are evaluated together instead of in sequence.
03
Test Vehicle Services
STCO test vehicles and bring-up plans that qualify process, stack, and package assumptions before the main product program absorbs the risk.
04
Advanced IC Packaging
2.5D interposers, 3D-IC stacking, fan-out, and embedded bridge packaging with substrate and assembly co-design for signal integrity and power delivery closure.
05
UCIe & Die-to-Die IP
Vendor-neutral IP selection, interoperability audits, package channel review, and D2D trade studies across standard and custom interfaces.
06
RTL-to-GDSII IC Design
Full custom and semi-custom chiplet implementation from RTL through physical sign-off, with die-to-die PHY integration and mixed-signal floorplanning.
Process
From concept to production
The order matters. We move architecture, DFM, package, and validation decisions earlier so the product program is not forced to absorb preventable risk late.
01
Concept & Architecture
Die partition, 3D-IC feasibility, node selection, interface definition, and AI-assisted PPA exploration.
02
DFM & Package Co-design
Thermal, mechanical, and electrical co-design with AI-accelerated warpage prediction and yield modeling.
03
Test Vehicle & Bring-up
STCO test vehicle fabrication, characterization, yield learning, and process qualification before production.
04
RTL-to-GDSII Design
Chiplet IP design, PHY integration, physical implementation, and tape-out planning.
05
Production & Scale
Volume ramp support, manufacturing oversight, and ongoing yield improvement as programs move into deployment.
