Execution Model
A rigorous 5-phase engineering workflow—from silicon architecture to post-silicon validation—designed to minimize tape-out risk and accelerate time-to-silicon.
Microarchitecture & System Definition
System requirements definition, block-level architecture, and power/area/performance targets — translating product requirements into a rigorous silicon specification.
RTL Design & IP Integration
Register-transfer level design and coding in SystemVerilog and other hardware description languages, with third-party IP integration for a clean, synthesizable RTL baseline.
Verification — UVM & Formal
Constrained-random UVM testbench execution, functional coverage closure, gate-level simulation, and formal property verification to eliminate bugs before synthesis.
Synthesis, DFT & Timing Closure
Synthesis flows, design-for-test (DFT) insertion, static timing analysis (STA), clock tree synthesis (CTS), place-and-route (P&R), and DRC/LVS signoff for a production-ready layout.
GDSII Tape-Out & Post-Silicon
Foundry-ready GDSII tape-out, foundry-agnostic liaison with foundry and OSAT partners, post-silicon validation, and package test sign-off — from masks to working silicon.
Silicon to Software
Mastery across the full silicon stack—from RTL and UVM to firmware, drivers, and cloud interfaces.
Build Real Silicon.
Athel Silicon offers hands-on internships in VLSI design, embedded systems, and systems software. Work alongside engineers on live projects — from RTL to tape-out.
