Silicon Lifecycle Management Based on On-Chip Cross-Layer Sensing and Analytics for Space Applications.

IHP is one of the world's leading research institutions in the field of silicon/germanium electronics. In this field, it has extensive, closely coordinated expertise in semiconductor technology, materials research, high-frequency circuit design and system solutions that are currently applied in several domains, but in particular in the space one. Space domain, across the years, has become the natural IHP’s vocation. This paper briefs the recent technological achievements and pave the next years' roadmap of the IHP’s System Architectures (SyA) Department on the design of cutting-edge integrated circuits (ICs) for space application. Among these achievements, it is worth mentioning the development of multicore processors based on the RISC-V architecture, silicon lifecycle management (SLM) based on on-chip sensors and analytics, and an open-access reliability framework to allow ease-access to the company technology.
