I wouldn’t be surprised if it turned out we’re also somehow connected to South Korean ASIC design house ASICLAND, whose engineers work closely with global partners, including TSMC and Arm.
The fact that both their CMO & Head of Overseas Sales and the company’s Global Strategy Manager “celebrated” this week’s LinkedIn post about our redesigned website with a clapping-hands emoji each is a little too much of a coincidence, don’t you think?
“ASICLAND is a leading design house specializing in application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design, offering high-performance, low-power, and cost-optimized design services. As an official Value Chain Alliance (VCA) partner of TSMC—the world’s No.1 foundry—ASICLAND serves as a trusted bridge between customers and TSMC. We deliver full turnkey support, from architecture design to GDS delivery, across a wide range of industries including AI, automotive, IoT, and memory.”

In this context, I was wondering whether the undisclosed “Leading U.S. IDM Company” in yesterday’s press release
could by any chance be our licensee Renesas Electronics America, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tokyo-headquartered Renesas Electronics Corporation, which in turn happens to be a global semiconductor player? Just a wild guess, though…
“▶ Strengthening automotive semiconductor design capabilities through collaboration with a global semiconductor client
(…) [2025-06-11] ASICLAND has signed a supply agreement with a leading U.S. integrated device manufacturer (IDM) to jointly target the global automotive semiconductor market.
(…) The U.S. semiconductor company involved is an IDM providing essential chip designs and power management solutions for automotive electronics systems, with active operations across various industrial sectors. Through this collaboration, ASICLAND will expand its technological foundation and expertise in automotive chip design.
(…) Meanwhile, ASICLAND is accelerating efforts to enter global markets by establishing an advanced R&D center in Hsinchu, Taiwan*. The company is actively securing cutting-edge design technologies for 3nm and 5nm process nodes as well as CoWos (Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate) packaging technologies.”
*Hsinchu Science Park is Taiwan’s Silicon Valley and home to about 500 high-tech companies, among them TSMC, UMC and MediaTek, as well as our partner Andes Technology.
