Company profile
Semiwise
Glasgow company developing and licensing CMOS device and technology IP, transistor simulation modules and cryogenic compact models, alongside TCAD consultancy for semiconductor manufacturers.
Company overview
Developing and licensing CMOS device and technology intellectual property, Semiwise supplies transistor design IP and simulation modules based on NESS. Its IP covers bulk CMOS, fully depleted silicon-on-insulator (FDSOI) and FinFET technologies, with applications in Internet of Things devices, artificial intelligence and low-power chip design. Listed technologies include Flat Field Transistor and Channel Last Transistor approaches. The company also provides semiconductor services, consultancy and training. Its cryogenic compact models are implemented in Siemens EDA tools, and it supports Surecore’s development of cryogenic memory technology for potential data centre applications. A University of Michigan team partners with Semiwise on cryogenic control electronics. Semiwise leads a consortium awarded an Innovate UK grant to develop a virtual reality semiconductor training fab. The supplied pages do not identify a UK business address or ownership.
