Aion Silicon (formerly Sondrel), a leading ASIC and SoC architecture partner, has announced its membership in the Intel Foundry Accelerator Value Chain Alliance (VCA). With this milestone, Aion Silicon extends its turnkey service offerings to provide full-stack custom silicon solutions, from architecture through packaged silicon across multiple industries and regions.
As part of the VCA, Aion Silicon strengthens its role as a consolidated design and manufacturing partner. Members of the alliance oversee the complete silicon lifecycle on behalf of customers, including architecture definition, RTL development, foundry collaboration, OSAT services, and warehousing. This integrated approach simplifies advanced semiconductor development by offering customers production-ready solutions without the complexity of coordinating multiple vendors.
“Joining the Intel Foundry Accelerator Value Chain Alliance enhances our position as an elite design and manufacturing partner that delivers high-performance custom SoCs that are as operationally scalable as they are technically advanced,” said Oliver Jones, CEO of Aion Silicon. “By managing the entire development and supply chain—from design to packaged silicon—we help customers innovate, reduce risk, and bring differentiated products to market more efficiently.”
The Intel Foundry VCA program complements Aion Silicon’s high-touch engineering model, providing customers with a single point of accountability throughout the development process. Whether defining architecture, coordinating silicon tapeout, or handling downstream logistics, Aion Silicon offers customers a truly turnkey solution, fully aligned with Intel Foundry’s leading-edge process technologies.
“We’re pleased to welcome Aion Silicon to the Intel Foundry Accelerator Value Chain Alliance,” said John Zucker, Vice President and GM of Global Marketing and Business Development at Intel Foundry. “Aion Silicon brings deep SoC design expertise and proven execution capabilities to the program, helping customers deliver full turnkey, custom silicon solutions with confidence, efficiency, and scale. Together, we’re creating a more integrated and agile path to advanced silicon availability across multiple market segments.”
This announcement follows Aion Silicon’s recent inclusion in the Intel Foundry Accelerator Design Services Alliance and further strengthens its position as a trusted provider of full lifecycle SoC solutions.
