custom silicon design

Custom silicon design involves creating a specialized computer chip tailored to specific tasks or applications. Instead of using general-purpose chips like CPUs or GPUs, companies develop their own unique chips—called Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs)—to optimize performance, power efficiency, and functionality. This process requires careful planning, designing the circuitry, and manufacturing the chip. Custom silicon is often used in high-performance areas such as data centers, artificial intelligence, and innovative consumer devices, enabling faster, more efficient operation compared to off-the-shelf chips.
