Research group
The System-on-Chip group addresses SoC: design methodologies, tool development as well as SoC architectures and IP blocks for FPGAs and ASICs. The SoC Hub is a joint initiative between TAU and companies. The SoC Hub includes over 10 professors and their research groups with the expertise ranging from microelectronics devices to very large scale SoC integration. Since 2020 SoC Hub has taped out and sample-tested 500M transistor class of chips with very high TRL, relevant for industrial and edge IoT applications.
Research infrastructure
SoC Hub includes 100-core server machines for ASIC design and simulation, 20 very large High-Bandwidth Memory FPGA boards for prototyping and collaboration platform with CMOS ASIC technology PDKs. Physical testing facilities are part of RF and electronics labs. Manufactured chips are integrated with other components in the SiPFAB pilot line.
