resilience is a core part of what they offer. That is the difference between a vendor who claims multi- foundry capability and one who has actually exercised it.
How ICsense applies this model ICsense is a Leuven-based custom ASIC design house with more than 125 experts and a 20-year track record across automotive, medical and industrial markets. The company operates without a captive fab, maintaining active production qualifications across multiple foundry partners in different geographies. Its ISO 13485 certification for medical and ISO 26262 coverage for automotive functional safety reflect the regulated markets it serves, environments where a disruption to supply is not just a commercial problem but a compliance one. A recent investment in an in-house Electrical
Wafer Sort facility makes the model more concrete. Most design houses route wafer tests through external OSAT partners, which introduces a dependency and puts yield data at one remove from the design team. ICsense’s dedicated ISO Class 7 cleanroom in
Leuven, with annual capacity for over 500 million units, runs this step in-house, keeping quality control and yield visibility within the same organisation that holds the design IP. The logic behind both investments is the same:
to ensure that the engineering relationship with the customer is not dependent on any single piece of external infrastructure. Whether the disruption
is at the foundry or in the test and packaging chain, the design team and programme continuity stay intact. The world has changed. Many of the frameworks
used to evaluate component suppliers have not kept pace with it.
