Long gone are the days when all semiconductor chips were designed and manufactured by semiconductor foundries. Today’s chip customers can submit their own designs, and foundries can tape them out into custom, “application-specific ICs” (ASICs) specifically targeting unique applications.

A recently released study from the Wilson Research Group reports that nearly a quarter of ASIC and FPGA chip designs during 2020 tapped open-source RISC-V technology, flagging it as one of the top trends in compute.
