Foundry Services
Spirit Electronics works with state-of-the-art U.S. foundries to meet
your domestic foundry service needs, including:
U.S. Foundry Access
As a trusted, U.S.-owned onshore OSAT facility, Spirit provides unique access to multiple domestic foundries, advanced manufacturing capabilities, and innovative solutions tailored to the specific needs of your program.
Authorized access to major wafer foundries enables the development of cutting-edge ASICs for critical programs requiring U.S. manufacturing. From application review and circuit design through prototype fabrication and test development, Spirit manages the full ASIC program lifecycle.
We combine expert engineering collaboration with production capability and full-service supply chain support — delivering innovation and speed at every stage.
ASIC Production Path
Selecting the right fabrication technology and foundry partner is crucial for achieving the ASIC’s desired performance, power efficiency, and cost targets. Spirit’s collaboration with top U.S. foundries provides customers a straightforward path to ASIC production, utilizing analog and mixed-signal technology nodes that remain a cornerstone of aerospace and defense electronics.
Design to Delivery
Spirit will work with customer programs to design an IC, manufacture the wafer at the foundry best suited for your project, and then deliver the wafer to Spirit Electronics to perform advanced wafer testing, packaging and qualification. Spirit’s end-to-end service options include circuit card assembly to place the final ASIC product on a printed circuit board for application-ready delivery.
With Spirit’s end-to-end turnkey services, we offer customers complete control of design and production under our umbrella.
Advanced Foundry Capabilities
Our foundry services are designed to handle the most complex requirements for the harshest applications. We ensure the precision and reliability that aerospace and defense applications demand are met across the board.
Analog
Perfect for precision applications, including signal processing for aerospace and new space applications.
Power Management
Efficient solutions for applications that require optimized energy usage, like PMICs for embedded systems and automotive power regulation.
Mixed-Signal
Integrating analog and digital components for high-performance systems.
Radio Frequency (RF)
Optimized for radio frequency applications such as satellite communications, radar systems, and wireless technologies.
Sensors
Advanced sensor interfaces that cater to space applications with a focus on low-power, high-accuracy performance.
MRAM
A hi-rel memory solution for A&D and space applications due to its non-volatility, radiation tolerance, high endurance, and fast access speeds.
Multi-Project Wafer (MPW) – Reduced Development Costs
MPW programs allow you to reduce development costs significantly by sharing wafer space with other customers.
This shared-fabrication process provides the flexibility of low-volume production while minimizing upfront costs – making it easier for companies to prototype and test designs before moving to larger production runs.
