The Six Semiconductor: Innovating Memory Interface IP in the AI Era

Thursday, August 8th, 2024

In the rapidly evolving landscape of semiconductor technology, The Six Semiconductor Inc., a subsidiary of Open Edge Technology Inc., has emerged as a significant player, particularly in the realm of high-speed memory interface intellectual property (IP). Founded by a group of seasoned engineers with deep ties to the semiconductor industry, the company is capitalizing on the growing demands of artificial intelligence (AI) to carve out a niche in a highly competitive market.

Origins Rooted in Experience

The story of The Six Semiconductor began six years ago, when a close-knit team of engineers, all former colleagues from ATI Technologies (later absorbed by AMD), identified an opportunity in the burgeoning AI sector. At a time when AI was starting to reshape the tech industry, the founders saw an increasing demand for specialized IP to support the intensive memory needs of AI accelerators.

“We recognized that the AI boom was not just a temporary trend, but a paradigm shift that required new, robust infrastructure,” said Ricky Lau, Chief Technology Officer and co-founder of The Six Semiconductor. “With our collective experience in high-speed memory interface design, we knew we could meet this need.”

The company’s initial focus was on developing GDDR6 IP, which is crucial for AI processors that require vast amounts of memory bandwidth. Drawing on their deep expertise in GPU design from their days at AMD, the team was able to push the boundaries of performance, setting their IP apart from existing standards.
