Semiconductor and Hardware Engineering

With more and more features being integrated on a single SOC and gate count in a single chip fast approaching billion transistors and more, the semiconductor development process has become more and more complex and costly. Chip manufacturers are under tremendous pressure to keep pace with the technological advances in this area, be it migration to smaller nodes, increasing chip complexity, gate counts, use of 3-D transistors or numerous other developments happening all around. The time-to-market has fallen drastically and it’s imperative for the companies to come up with first-pass silicon.

In these circumstances, MindTree semiconductor team, with its vast expertise in more than 250+ designs, is the best partner to be banked on. This team works with the world’s top semiconductor companies of the world (8 out of top 15 semiconductor companies) to help them achieve their business goals.

We engage with our customers in engagements models varying from an extension of the customer’s project team to full chip ownership models where we take the full responsibility of delivering the complete chip. Our major offerings are shown below
