According to the company, another design tape-out for OTP solutions is set to qualify for the TSMC N5A process in the second quarter 2023, focusing on automotive applications.
NeoFuse OTP is an embedded one-time programmable NVM IP solution featuring low operating power, robust reliability and improved security. The OTP qualified on TSMC’s N5 process integrates the physical unclonable function (PUF). The OTP-based security features further strengthen data and supply chain protection for all designs whether they are SoC or heterogeneous integration of chiplets. Furthermore, the operating temperature tolerance extends up to 150°C to meet the specifications of automotive applications.
"As a long-term and reliable TSMC Open Innovation Platform (OIP) partner, we are pleased to see our technology capabilities progress from mature to advanced nodes in N7, N6, and N5 while continue developing solutions in N5A, N4P and N3E. With abundant technical strength formed between the two companies and our innovative OTP-based security functions, our mutual customers further benefited from a one-stop experience in memory and security," said Chris Lu, Senior Vice President of Business Development of eMemory.
In addition to the TSMC N5A process for automotive applications, ongoing development projects for eMemory OTP on advanced processes include tape-out on TSMC's N4P process in January and another tape-out plan for N3E in Q2 this year.
