Outline Vision & Activities Organization Design houses Manufacturing Training HR Opportunities

Vision & Objectives To promote the development of an ecosystem in

microelectronics in Brazil and the insertion of Brazil in the semiconductor market

Promote local IC companies

Attraction of international companies

• E.g., Freescale – today 200 IC designers

• Smart - Back-end fabrication

Promote electronics innovation

Synergy with other governmental incentives:

• Informatics law

• PADIS – new program for semiconductors and displays

• Subvention programs by FINEP and BNDES

www.lsitec.org.br

• 25 design engineers working in two offices:– Sao Paulo (SPO)– Salvador (SO, Bahia State)

• 70% with MsC or PhD• 2 Engineers have more than 15 years

experience in US design companies

IC Design

Signaling device, battery operated, to identify power interruptions in high power transmission lines

Outcome

Response Time to Repair has been reduced by 2/3

Mixed Mode IC developed in 3 months, from specs to tapeout Layout (left) and under test (right) Industrial production starts on April 2008 (using smd package)
