Intel builds domestic commercial chipbuilding ecosystem
 

For the US defence department

Intel has signed a deal with the US defence department to support a domestic commercial chip-building ecosystem.

The chipmaker will lead the first phase of a programme called Rapid Assured Microelectronics Prototypes - Commercial (RAMP-C), which aims to bolster the domestic semiconductor supply chain.

The chipmaker's recently launched division, Intel Foundry Services, will lead the programme. As part of RAMP-C, Intel will partner with IBM, Cadence, Synopsys and others to establish a domestic commercial foundry ecosystem.

Intel says the programme was designed to create custom integrated circuits and commercial products required by the US defence department’s systems.
