Project description
Transforming SoC for a new era of efficiency
The system-on-chip (SoC) design market faces increasing challenges, with rising complexity and soaring development costs. Traditional methods struggle to keep pace, limiting innovation and making it difficult for smaller players to compete. As SoC designs become more intricate, the need for faster, more cost-effective solutions grows. In this context, the EIC-funded EmpoSoC project offering a revolutionary approach to SoC design. By combining a pre-designed library of SoC subsystems with cutting-edge design software, EmpoSoC significantly automates the design process, reducing costs and making it accessible to SMEs and startups. After 20 years of R&D, Defacto has developed this innovative solution, which is positioning the EU as a leader in semiconductor design.
Objective
The System-on-Chip (SoC) design market is reaching its limits. EmpoSoC is a completely new design solution and methodology for SoC design which will enable the design of more complex and higher performance electronic components faster and with a lower cost. Also, it will make the SoC design process more affordable for non-design experts and new players such as SMEs and start-ups. EmpoSoC design solution is a combination of a pre-design library of SoC subsystems and design software which significantly increases the automation degree of the SoC design process. After 20 years of research and development and close collaborations with TOP20 semiconductor companies in the world, Defacto has developed a unique know-how that has finally led to the EmpoSoC design solution. The first version of this solution already meets the first key market expectations according to major players. Moreover, the market opportunity window for Defacto is strongly favorable to lead a new market segment and help position the EU as a key territory in the area of semiconductor design.
