Artisan Components Inc., a provider of semiconductor intellectual property (IP), will deliver its library products on 1st Silicon Sdn. Bhd 's 0.185m CMOS process. 1st Silicon is a wafer foundry based in Malaysia.

Under the agreement, Artisan will develop a suite of libraries to include memory generators for single and dual-port SRAM, two-port register file and diffusion programmable ROM. Artisan's SAGE-X Standard Cell Library and I/O cell library will also be developed.
