University College Cork (UCC) wishes to appoint a minimum of 2 economic operators to a Multi-Party Framework Agreement for the provision of Integrated Circuit Design Tools.
Microelectronic Circuits Centre Ireland (MCCI) provides central IC design infrastructure (CAD tools, Design Kits and compute resources) for use by MCCI Academic Researchers and collaborating MCCI Industry members for the sole purpose of executing MCCI research projects. Such project participants access this design environment via VPN. The design environment currently comprises Cadence front-to-back analog IC design and digital implementation tools along with Mentor simulation and back-end tools and fully supports design activity across a range of advanced semiconductor process nodes including TSMC 28nm. While MCCI is a not-for-profit organisation, it does seek to license its research output.
