Rohm to offer prototyping service

Kyoto, Japan–Seeing market opportunity in all those new venture design shops suddenly starting to pop up in Japan, Rohm Co. Ltd. will offer prototyping services at a new Venture LSI Design Assist Center.

For about $4,600 (500,000 yen), Rohm will make 50 5mm2-sized packaged chips with its 0.35 micron analog-digital process from a customer?s mask data. The company already makes prototype system chips for Japan?s university research groups and JEITA?s design project. Now it hopes to capitalize on these connections and its analog-digital technology and network of design centers to help startups bring their designs to production.
