Eliyan, a Santa Clara, CA-based semiconductor and chiplet interconnect company, raised $40M in Series A funding.
The round was led by Tracker Capital Management with participation from Celestial Capital, Intel Capital and Micron. As part of the investment from Tracker Capital, made in February 2022, Dr. Shaygan Kheradpir of Cerberus, former Group CIO and a founding member of the Executive Leadership Committee at Verizon, will join the Board of Directors of Eliyan.
The company intends to use the funds to accelerate its development efforts and expand operations.
Led by CEO Ramin Farjadrad, Eliyan invented a high-performance and efficient chiplet interconnect for homogenous and heterogenous multi-die architectures in the semiconductor industry. Its NuLink technology is backward compatible with Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express (UCIe), a standard developed by Intel and donated to the UCIe Consortium, which includes 80+ leaders in semiconductor, packaging, foundries, cloud services and IP suppliers. NuGear is optimized for 2.5/3D implementations that enables practical mix and match of chiplets with different die-to-die interfaces in in different processes (DRAM, SOI, etc.).
The company’s first silicon is expected in the first quarter of 2023.
