Tier Logic is a semiconductor company designing FPGA and ASIC products and associated tools. Their primary innovation is IC structures. They build FPGAs using a three-dimensional (3D) approach that not only delivers significant reductions in FPGA cost, but also makes it extremely easy and low-cost to move from the FPGA to an ASIC, with zero risk and additional significant cost reductions as a result. Its name, Tier Logic, reflects the 3D nature of its products. They have already amassed a significant patent portfolio of over 50 issued patents in the area of three-dimensional circuit design and implementation. Although its technology is novel, from the customer’s perspective it is very easy to use, requiring no new skills in the area of logic design or tools usage. Any user of traditional FPGAs will find it very straightforward to use Tier Logic’s products.
