Connecting Ideas, Data, and People Across the Microelectronics Supply Chain

The MMEC Digital Ecosystem is a secure, collaborative environment that accelerates innovation from concept to production. By integrating powerful digital tools like DESIGN, CONNECT, IP, and MOSIS 2.0, MMEC empowers members to design, collaborate, and deliver technologies that advance U.S. microelectronics leadership and national security.

This ecosystem unites designers, fabricators, suppliers, and innovators in one connected platform that reduces barriers, shortens timelines, and ensures every idea has a clear path from lab-to-fab-to-mission and market.

Digital Electronics System
Integrated Gateway Network

DESIGN is an advanced hybrid-cloud MS&A environment that unites design tools, IP resources, and collaborative workflows to accelerate microelectronics innovation from concept to fabrication by lowering the barriers to participation. It enables members to create, simulate, and validate designs across multiple technology domains including analog, digital, RF, and mixed-signal systems within a secure, scalable, and cloud-enabled environment.

The platform integrates EDA tools, process design kits (PDKs), and verified IP blocks to support end-to-end design cycles. DESIGN enhances productivity through version control and data traceability while providing seamless connectivity to MOSIS 2.0 for rapid prototype fabrication.  Design enablement and model generation reduce iteration time, allowing members to innovate faster and more efficiently.

DESIGN also supports cross-node collaboration and benchmarking, enabling distributed teams to co-develop and share reusable IP and workflows, fostering interoperability and standardization across the MMEC ecosystem.

FEATURES:

  • EDA and PDK Integration
  • Verified IP Library
  • Coordination with CONNECT Platform
  • End-to-End Design-to-Fab Workflow with MOSIS 2.0
  • Secure Cloud Collaboration and Version Control
  • Data Traceability, Governance, and Ontology

Collaborative Online Network
for Capacity and Teaming

CONNECT is a dynamic software platform designed to enhance collaboration, innovation, and resource integration across diverse ecosystems. It empowers users through robust capability and knowledge management tools, advanced ontological mapping with LLMs, and intelligent discovery features to align expertise efficiently. CONNECT streamlines project development through prototype reference flows, and provides a storefront and marketplace for sharing tools, technologies, and services. Member teaming and resource management tools foster strategic partnerships and agile responses to mission needs. The platform also incorporates automation of data aggregation and processors, structured data search with member access and feedback, NLP search capabilities in closed environments, including within the MMEC Member Portal, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to deliver contextualized results from secure and protected datasets, all within a secure, scalable, and intuitive environment.

FEATURES:

  • Capability and Knowledge Management
  • Ontological Mapping and LLMs
  • Prototype reference
  • Storefront and Marketplace
  • Member Teaming and other Resources

MMEC IP Repository

The MMEC IP Repository is a centralized, secure environment designed to manage, protect, and accelerate access to intellectual property critical to the U.S. microelectronics ecosystem. It enables members to discover, contribute, and license verified IP blocks, design kits, and technology assets, streamlining design cycles and reducing time to prototype. The repository enables contributors to share, license, and protect IP within a structured framework that ensures compliance with export controls, cybersecurity standards, and federal data protection requirements. Through controlled access, digital rights management, and secure provenance tracking, the platform safeguards innovation while promoting collaboration.

FEATURES:

  • Verified IP Library
  • Secure Sharing and Licensing Framework
  • Access Control for Sensitive IP
  • Content Based Search Capabilities
  • Integration with DESIGN, CONNECT, and MOSIS 2.0
  • Protection for Controlled and Proprietary Data
