1 IC-Brazil Program created by MCT in 2005 Jacobus W. Swart CTI
Dec 14, 2015
Vision & Objectives To promote the development of an ecosystem in
microelectronics in Brazil and the insertion of Brazil in the semiconductor market
Promote local IC companies
Attraction of international companies
• E.g., Freescale – today 200 IC designers
• Smart - Back-end fabrication
Promote electronics innovation
Synergy with other governmental incentives:
• Informatics law
• PADIS – new program for semiconductors and displays
• Subvention programs by FINEP and BNDES

• 25 design engineers working in two offices:– Sao Paulo (SPO)– Salvador (SO, Bahia State)
• 70% with MsC or PhD• 2 Engineers have more than 15 years
experience in US design companies
IC Design
Signaling device, battery operated, to identify power interruptions in high power transmission lines
Outcome
Response Time to Repair has been reduced by 2/3
Mixed Mode IC developed in 3 months, from specs to tapeout Layout (left) and under test (right) Industrial production starts on April 2008 (using smd package)
