ASICLAND Turnkey SoC/ASIC Design & AWorld Platform

ASICLAND Co., Ltd. is a South Korean ASIC design solution company established in 2016 and listed on KOSDAQ in 2023, with a Taiwan R&D centre set up in 2024 and an office in Gwangju opened in 2025. It is a TSMC Value Chain Alliance partner and an Arm Approved Design Partner, helping fabless firms, system companies and startups turn chip ideas into mass-produced silicon.

Its SoC service covers spec-in, RTL design, Arm platform and high-speed interface integration, low-power design, custom IP, board design and BSP/SDK work. Design service handles synthesis through GDS-out on 5, 7, 12, 16 and 28 nm processes, and production service manages foundry, packaging and test as a turnkey flow. The AWorld Magic automated development environment and the silicon-proven AWorld Island platform underpin projects in AI, IoT and 5G, supported by IP selection through Arm, Synopsys and TSMC OIP partners.

• SoC service: spec-in, RTL design, Arm and high-speed interface integration, firmware and OS porting.
• Design service: synthesis to GDS-out on 5, 7, 12, 16 and 28 nm processes.
• Production service: turnkey management of foundry, packaging and test through mass production.
• AWorld Magic and AWorld Island: automated development environment and silicon-proven platform.
• IP service: IP selection and PPA analysis through Arm, Synopsys and TSMC OIP partners.
• Low-power design: power and clock gating and multi-threshold voltage techniques.

A Vietnamese fabless startup can use ASICLAND's turnkey service to take an AI or IoT chip from specification to mass production on a TSMC node. A Vietnamese university chip programme can collaborate on design projects and engineer training. An electronics manufacturer in Vietnam can commission a custom SoC to replace several off-the-shelf chips.

The company states that its automated AWorld platform shortens development cycles by 30% to 70% and cuts costs by up to 20% compared with conventional methods. Customers get one partner from specification to packaged and tested chips, with a dedicated project manager. TSMC VCA and Arm partnerships give access to advanced nodes and validated IP. PPA-based IP comparison helps balance performance and cost.

Demand for custom AI and edge SoCs is growing among system companies that lack in-house back-end and foundry access. Design houses with TSMC and Arm partnerships provide a route to advanced nodes. Vietnam and Korea are deepening semiconductor cooperation, and Vietnamese universities and startups need partners for tape-out, packaging and engineer training.

Established in 2016; listed on KOSDAQ in 2023; headquartered in its own building in Korea, with a Taiwan R&D centre (2024) and Gwangju office (2025). Korea's TSMC VCA member, Arm Approved Design Partner and Arm Total Design partner; named Arm Design Partner of the Year 2023. Signed an MOU with the University of Science, Ho Chi Minh City, and hosted a Vietnamese semiconductor delegation. ISO 14001 certified.
