Introducing
SoC Builder
The new, AI-powered, design service solution that lets you build a custom System-on-Chip. No ASIC expertise required.
Powered byDesign Your Custom Chip in Hours, Not Years
The chipIgnite SoC Builder program is a transformative, AI-powered design service solution that democratizes custom System-on-Chip (SoC) design, making it accessible for product companies, startups, and innovators who lack dedicated ASIC teams. We eliminate the prohibitive barriers of cost, time, and specialized knowledge that have traditionally confined custom chip design to large organizations.
Guided Workflow
Design your chip through an intuitive, form-based interface. Select from a verified library of IP peripherals and a silicon-proven base template like the Caravel SoC.
Real-Time Feedback
Instantly see the impact of every choice with a persistent dashboard that tracks Area and I/O Utilization. In our next phase, this evolves to Real-time PPA (Power, Performance, and Area) Estimation.
Complete Service
Go from high-level architectural definition to the delivery of packaged, tested silicon parts in a single, transparent, end-to-end service.

Accelerated Design, Powered by NativeChips.ai
For a product company or startup on a tight schedule, months of custom chip development can mean the difference between launch and failure. The chipIgnite SoC Builder service is engineered for speed, enabling us to deliver your custom silicon faster than any traditional design house.
The secret is the NativeChips.ai platform—the hidden automation engine ChipFoundry uses internally to service your project.
Design-to-Fabrication in Weeks, Not Months: You focus on configuring your chip using our simple Builder interface. The moment you approve the design, the NativeChips.ai engine takes over. This AI backbone instantly automates the most complex and time-consuming steps in the physical design flow (placement, routing, timing closure, etc.). This cuts the manual engineering time from weeks to mere days.
Your Time-to-Market Advantage: This unprecedented speed means we can get your finalized design (GDSII) into our next fabrication shuttle faster. You get your custom chips and achieve your product launch goals months sooner, securing a critical first-mover advantage.
A Fully Managed, Hands-Off Service: You don't need to know how the AI works. You only interact with our guided Builder. We manage the entire process—from your configuration, through the AI-driven backend using NativeChips.ai, all the way to delivering tested, packaged silicon parts. You focus on your product; we focus on the physics.
Give it a Try
Start building your custom chip with the power of AI, all from a single form. If you like it, you can submit the configuration to us and we will contact you.
Design Custom Silicon Without the Complexity
We've removed the traditional barriers to custom chip design, replacing a complex, multi-year process with a simple, AI-powered platform.
No Expertise Required
Use our simple, form-based configurator. No ASIC design or complex EDA software knowledge needed.
No Multi-Million NRE
Access custom silicon through our MPW shuttle program, eliminating the massive NRE costs of a dedicated run.
No Multi-Year Timelines
Submit your design in days, not years. We handle the entire backend implementation and manufacturing.
