Presto Engineering is the recognized expert in ASIC development and semiconductor services, helping innovative companies imagine and implement solutions for tomorrow in high-value markets such as Medical, Automotive, Industrial and Communication.
With 150 talented experts and 10 operations across Europe, North America and Asia, Presto has developed unique expertise in managing IC projects, covering the entire value chain from concept to volume production. Presto enables companies to incorporate proprietary microelectronic solutions into their products while minimizing overhead, reducing risk and accelerating time-to-market.
Presto turns ideas into reality with its ASIC Total Solution package, covering everything from the feasibility study to component delivery. Customers can take advantage of Presto’s proof-of-concept capabilities (demonstration board and design kits) to validate their envision technology and confirm its business model.
Leveraging a comprehensive internal IP portfolio, Presto works with a network of highly-qualified foundry partners, alongside its customer, to design the ASIC fitted for their specific application requirements. Presto’s package engineers and experts will design the best package for each customer’s product, based on their chip-to-package co-design framework. Presto’s partnerships with industry-leading EDA and OSAT companies provide a wide portfolio of solutions at a competitive cost, from mid-to-large capacity, and with a high level of quality. Presto’s semiconductor services also include volume production after a comprehensive industrialization process.
With 5 complete state-of-the-art test floors and internal reliability and failure analysis labs—representing more than 50M€ of equipment investment—Presto provides a full range of semiconductor services that cover all aspects of test, qualification, and ramp through volume production. Its experts have deep expertise in digital, analog, mixed-signal, RF, and millimeter-wave applications. Presto has earned a long, successful track record of qualifying new devices, including for the highly demanding automotive market.
For each customer, Presto’s services are seamlessly developed using the SQuP development process and proprietary OCEAN web-based platform.
Built over decades of experience producing and shipping hundreds of millions of semiconductor units, Presto operates a global, flexible, and dedicated supply chain system, supported in Asia with two test floors and integrated local teams of experts. With this infrastructure in place, Presto can ramp products locally, safely, and securely in Europe and move manufacturing to Asia when volume warrants it. Presto’s US facility is strategically located at the heart of Silicon Valley, in San José, while its Danish R&D center is in Copenhagen, in the middle of the Medical Valley.
Since 2006, Presto Engineering has earned a reputation as the Trusted Partner by more than 1,000 customers who selected Presto to design, industrialize and produce their ICs. Presto has helped its customers launch smarter and safer products, improving its customers’ profitability as well as the world we live in.
Presto Engineering is the recognized expert in ASIC design and semiconductor development services helping companies build innovative products that stand out. Presto’s design capabilities and systematic ASIC design process ensure that our customers get high quality designs. Above all, it is our extended expertise and rich experience within specific focus areas that enables us to increase success rates, lower our customers’ risk, and deliver high-quality results in the shortest timeframe. Finally, customers also benefit from Presto’s full supply chain capabilities, covering everything from planning, wafer procurement through, assembly, test, logistics and product sustaining.
We operate a global, flexible and dedicated supply chain system, built over decades of experience producing and shipping hundreds of millions of semiconductor units.
We consolidated all production-related functions into integrated teams of experts who are focused on getting your product to your customers or your internal operations as seamlessly as possible. Our on-staff team provides the following skillset to your business:
- Supplier management: selection, audit, contracts
- Planning: supply/demand reconciliation, forecasting, lot starts, inventory optimization
- Purchasing: order placement, backlog management, WIP tracking
- Logistics: shipment, custom clearance
We operate five complete test floors, including two in Asia where your production will be supervised on-site by our resident personnel (both in Bangkok, Thailand and in Kaohsiung, Taiwan). We deploy, not only advanced automated test equipment (ATE) capacity, but also complete lines of wafer backend processing (back lapping, back grinding/thinning and dicing).
Most of our floors are secured (EAL 6 certified) and operated from our own, local IT systems, interconnected to a dedicated, secure network.
Our local partners provide packaging/assembly operations so we can process lots under the same roof, from probe test to wafer backend, assembly, final test, and finishing. Our backend operations are integrated into our OCEAN-based global supply chain B2B system, including MES integration and web-based WIP tracking―providing you with web-based access to the production-related reports you need.
We leverage our Hong Kong-based warehouse for efficient and cost-effective world-wide logistics as well as facilitated access to Asian EMS or end-markets.
Additionally, we have internal expertise sustaining your product’s ongoing production, yield, and quality, including:
- Quality engineers: RMA process, customer interaction, G8D management
- Product engineers: yield trend management, interface with design, product ownership
- Device engineers: yield analysis, foundries interfacing, PCR management, corrective actions
- Failure Analysis engineers: RMA analysis, reporting, root cause analysis, field returns (ppm)
- Test engineers: test coverage - escape resolution, test time reduction
