Intel Foundry Completes RAMP-C Program for Secure Microelectronics

Intel Foundry has completed the RAMP-C program, which focuses on Rapid Assured Microelectronics Prototypes - Commercial. Launched in September 2021, this program involved collaboration with the Department of Defense (DoD) on Trusted & Assured Microelectronics. The completion of RAMP-C signifies advancements in leading-edge CMOS technology, which could enhance the reliability and security of microelectronics in defense applications. This follows Intel’s ongoing efforts to bolster its manufacturing capabilities, as seen in their recent €5 billion investment in European manufacturing capacity. For practitioners, this completion may provide new opportunities to integrate more secure microelectronics into their designs. More details are available on the Intel Newsroom.
