Avnet ASIC is one of a select number of TSMC-certified Value Chain Aggregators (VCA) and has already completed several projects with Hailo.
As a VCA partner, Avnet ASIC can provide access to TSMC’s fabrication processes along with engineering support, production management, and process integration. The company has considerable experience in supporting chip production at 3nm and has access to TSMC’s upcoming 2nm technologies.
Avnet ASIC will provide Hailo with technical expertise across the chip development lifecycle, from design enablement to high-volume production and its team can offer support with tapeout procedures, product management, and supply chain management.
TSMC’s VCA program provides mid-sized companies with access to its advanced fabrication processes through certified partners.
The partnership with Avnet ASIC will allow Hailo to offload tapeout readiness and fab management to a reliable partner and focus on its core engineering activities instead of interacting directly with TSMC.
Commenting on being selected by Hailo as its silicon channel partner, Yulia Milshtein, GM, Head of Business at Avnet ASIC, said, “TSMC has certified only a limited number of VCA partners worldwide, and Avnet ASIC’s extensive experience in design and production management enables us to provide high-value technical and product services, empowering companies like Hailo to bring innovative products to market efficiently.”
“Our collaboration with Avnet ASIC will strengthen our AI processor production,” said Ina Shternberg, VP of Quality and Operations at Hailo. “This partnership ensures that we have engineering-driven support, high manufacturing standards, and access to TSMC’s most advanced silicon processes, giving us confidence in both quality and efficiency.”
