Période

circa 2000-2005

Canada

Part of a collection of equipment and samples from Canadian company Sibercore Technologies, which made integrated circuits for use by the backbone providers of the internet (e.g. Cisco, Fijitsu etc.), specifically TCAMS (The lot contains sets of masks (32 and 30 per set) for their 40 mm and 27 mm products as well as test equipment and samples from the chip manufacturers in original packaging (one set unopened - and should not be). There is a complete set of CADD circuit drawings for the 27 mm chips as well as equipment used in the testing and burn-in of chips. A variety of promotional material has also been provided including a CD with a Power Point presentation used by the Marketing Group. Founded in 1998, SiberCore Technologies was a fabless semiconductor company based in Kanata, Ontario (with sales offices in Boston and Sacramento). The company developed a leading edge networking semiconductor memory based upon numerous Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM) patents. It made ICs for use by the backbone providers of the Internet, e.g. Cisco, Fijitsu, etc. The company raised over $75 million of venture capital in four separate funding rounds between 1998 and 2002. The company secured designs at several top tier companies including Cisco, Lucent, Fujitsu, Tellabs, Hitachi, Marconi, Riverstone, Laurel Networks, and L-3. However, sales never reached above $10M per year as the post-bubble market for high end networking equipment failed to reach its forecasted potential. At its peak, the company employed 85 personnel, the bulk of them semiconductor design engineers at the company headquarters in Kanata, Ontario. The company began scaling back operations in 2003, and in 2004 announced that it would gradually wind-down operations. This wind down was completed in October 2005. As a "fabless" semiconductor company, SiberCore designed and sold its products, but manufacturing and test was performed by companies that specialize in those fields. The company's first prototype wafers were manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) and the wafers for all other designs were produced by United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC). Final assembly and test of the semiconductors was performed by Advanced Semiconductor Engineering (ASE). All three of these companies are based in Taiwan.
