Public Profile

Vorago Technologies, formerly known as Silicon Space Technology Corporation, is a fabless semiconductor company. Vorago is a provider of radiation-hardened and extreme temperature-hardened IC components for the Hi-rel marketplace. Vorago designs and develops high density SRAMs and logic ICs using its patented HARDSIL® technology to simultaneously provide superior radiation and temperature endurance performance. Vorago also provides custom ASIC design services using its hardened Metal Programmable System On Chip (MPSoC) platform capability. Vorago's patented, innovative technology, HARDSIL®, has been proven in multiple CMOS process generations at multiple fabs to harden integrated circuits without redesign and is scalable to any generation node. Once modified by HARDSIL®, the commercial process flow can be used to manufacture significantly more robust CMOS circuits for highly reliable operation in extreme environments. This capability dramatically enhances the hardness and reliability of high density ICs provides a disruptive alternative to current hi-rel approaches utilizing upscreened COTS, redundant systems, or exotic packaging. Partnering with Texas Instruments, VORAGO Technologies introduced its first product, a QML-V, space-qualified rad hard 16Mb SRAM, during 2012. This product is the only rad-hard SRAM offering to combine superior radiation hardening with no trade-offs in performance. Now also partnering with GLOBALFOUNDRIES, TSMC and others VORAGO is developing new products incorporating HARDSIL® to provide an expanding product portfolio for extreme environment electronic applicatio
