Hsinchu, Taiwan-Jan. 22, 2008-The world leading Design Foundry service provider, Global Unichip Corp. (GUC; TW: 3443), celebrated its 10th anniversary in a birthday party held at Hsinchu headquarter. Dr. F.C. Tseng, GUC chairman, and K. C. Shih, vice chairman and CEO presented the “Key to the Future”, which represented a brand new SoC era, in the party. During the past 10 years, GUC had been gradually gaining the business momentum. They believe the business success came not only from right execution, but also the right industry trend.

“I am glad to see that GUC has successfully caught up with the tidal wave of SoC design I envisioned 10 years ago.”, stated K. C. Shih, vice chairman and CEO of GUC. “We have been aiming to be the premium service provider for SoC supply chain integration. In 2007 alone, GUC has taped out more than 10 projects of 65nm. As we all knew that the current SoC supply chain is highly complicated, while, in the mean time, market window has become extremely narrow. With the extended experience in deep submicron, multi-million gate SoC projects, I firmly believe GUC can provide our customers with values of lowering total cost of ownership, lowering risk, improving efficiency, and shorten time-to-market.”

As the industry keeps pushing for more performance, features and time to market, fragmented solutions are no longer enough. Silicon vendors will need total solution to catch up with end consumers’ constantly changing tastes. GUC has been focused on IP sourcing, integration, DFM, DFT, design implementation, global logistics/supply chain management to provide a total solution needed by customers for their complicated deep submicron SoC projects.
