Body：Recently, Suzhou IPSoar Microelectronics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as " IPSoar "), a leading one-stop Foundation IP supplier in China, announced a major breakthrough: its core product, the Memory Compiler, has successfully been upgraded to Gold status on the 28nm process platform of a leading domestic Foundry. This marks the first time a domestic Foundation IP has achieved Gold certification on a critical 28nm process platform, signifying that IPSoar's product quality and technical capabilities have received dual authoritative recognition from leading chip design companies and Foundries. It also represents a significant milestone in the domestic Foundation IP industry's breakthrough from overseas monopolies and its path toward autonomous, scalable production.

As a foundational pillar of chip design, the reliability and performance of Foundation IP directly determine the success rate of chip mass production and the competitiveness of end products. Historically, this domain has been dominated by overseas enterprises, exposing domestic industry development to the risk of being "strangled" by supply chain bottlenecks. The 28nm process, as a key node connecting mature and advanced nodes, offers a balance of performance and cost, and is widely used in core fields such as smartphones, IoT, automotive electronics, and industrial control. Its IP certification standards are particularly stringent. The fact that IPSoar's Memory Compiler has passed the Gold certification of a leading Foundry means that the product has reached top-tier industry levels in terms of mass production compatibility, stability, and comprehensive PPA (power/performance/area) metrics. It can directly provide customers with high-reliability, mass-production-ready IP solutions.

Zhou Bin, Co-founder and COO of IPSoar, stated: "The Gold certification of the 28nm Memory Compiler is a recognition of our technical strength by the Foundry and the result of extensive mass production validation by chip design customers. Since its inception, IPSoar has adhered to the original aspiration of independent innovation, strictly controlling product quality through a robust quality inspection process and a comprehensive verification system, achieving a 100% first-pass silicon success rate. Its PPA metrics are 5%-20% higher than the industry average. This certification breakthrough proves that domestic Foundation IP has the core capability to support the high-quality development of China's integrated circuit industry."

Against the backdrop of accelerating domestic substitution, IPSoar's achievement of a "zero breakthrough" in Gold certification for domestic Foundation IP on the 28nm platform not only secures broader market space for itself but also provides domestic Foundries and chip design companies with more reliable local IP options, helping to overcome the challenges of overseas IP licensing restrictions. In the future, IPSoar will continue to fulfill its corporate mission of "empowering customer innovation with high-quality foundational IP", pushing forward breakthroughs in mature and even more advanced process nodes, continuously enriching its IP product portfolio, and laying a solid foundation for the autonomous and scalable development of China's chip industry, driving the high-quality upgrade of the domestic integrated circuit industry chain.
