Overview
The semiconductor industry is at an inflection point, driven by next-gen AI, advanced process nodes and increasing complexity in custom silicon development. As a trusted Design Solution Partner (DSP) in the Samsung Advanced Foundry Ecosystem (SAFE™), HCLTech is proud to enable faster, smarter and more scalable chip design for global customers.
Our spec-to-platform design approach, combined with deep experience on Samsung nodes, helps customers achieve faster time-to-market, robust quality and silicon success. With over 4,300 semiconductor engineers, cutting-edge labs and AI-accelerated design frameworks, we deliver turnkey solutions - from RTL to post-silicon validation - that align with Samsung’s innovation roadmap.
Explore how HCLTech, in collaboration with Samsung Foundry, is simplifying complex silicon journeys and setting new benchmarks in chip design.
Focus Areas
Turnkey Chip Design and Delivery
From architecture and RTL to physical design and post-silicon validation, we manage the entire chip lifecycle. Our proven flow on Samsung nodes (e.g., SF4X, SF3X) ensures predictable execution, high DFT coverage and first-pass silicon success.
GenAI-Driven Design Acceleration
Our Progenix framework integrates GenAI to automate specification analysis, test plan creation and verification - delivering up to 60% faster design cycles and reducing human error.
Advanced Lab Infrastructure and Post-Silicon Services
With $50M+ investment in semichip labs (including clean room and Proto OSAT), we provide AEC-Q100/JEDEC-compliant validation, mmWave/RF testing and advanced ATE setups - crucial for Samsung ecosystem enablement.
RISC-V and Arm SoC Platforms
Pre-verified platforms for CPU subsystems, AI accelerators and secure boot - configurable for automotive, industrial and consumer segments. These modular platforms help speed up prototyping and reduce development cost.
Solutions
Progenix: GenAI-Accelerated IC Development Flow
Harness the power of GenAI to automate RTL design, verification and firmware scaffolding. Progenix shortens chip design cycles by up to 60%, leveraging RAG-based interpretation and intelligent test generation.
Samsung Node-Based Turnkey Execution
With deployed flows on SF4X, SF3X and other advanced Samsung nodes, HCLTech delivers physical design, DFT and SoC integration with complete tape-out responsibility. Our teams have a track record of managing full-chip design and post-silicon debug across nodes.
System-Level Co-Design and Firmware Integration
Our services span SoC to board bring-up, bootloader development and secure firmware integration - ensuring full-stack readiness for AI, automotive and edge deployments aligned to Samsung’s ecosystem.
