Outsourcing Semiconductor IP
February 15, 2010
According to trusted sources it costs upwards of $50M to design a 40nm ASIC down to the GDS. Semiconductor IP is a growing part of that equation but even in the never ending quest for optimum semiconductor unit cost per function, the semiconductor IP make-versus-buy decision is often overlooked. The numbers I have heard are downwards of 30% of IP that can be outsourced is outsourced.
