Membership Classes

Si2 has two classes of memberships that are used today: Corporate, and Academic. For each class of membership there are multiple ways to combine Coalitions and Si2 Base membership to best fit your needs.

Corporate Members

Corporate members are any associations, partnerships, organizations, companies or corporations which research, develop, sell, use or promote the development, sale or use of electronic design automation tools, semiconductor equipment, semiconductor intellectual property (IP), or data management systems, or which design, market, or manufacture electronic products, or which provide products or services relating to such tools, systems or products. Corporate members pay annual dues and have voting rights.

Academic Members

Academic members are individuals enrolled or employed full-time at an accredited college or university, with research and/or coursework related to the electronic design automation, semiconductor, or electronics industries. They may also be individuals who are self-employed, and who provide research and/or consulting services to the electronic design automation, semiconductor, or electronics industries. Academic members do not pay annual dues and are not granted rights to vote on any item under consideration by Si2.

Determining Corporate Member Dues

For all memberships, there is an initiation fee added to the first year of membership for new members. To get an estimate of the dues for your company please select the appropriate membership combination and use the table below to determine the total cost.

Si2 Base, OAC and UPTC Memberships

These memberships can be combined in different ways. Start with the Si2 Base membership and then decide whether you want to add the OAC and/or UPTC memberships (you cannot join the OAC or UPTC without being a Si2 Base member).  This selection will determine the appropriate column in the provided dues table.  You can then select the row that reflects the total corporate revenue for your company to determine the annual dues. Dues do not change with the number of users within the company. Note that currently there is no additional coalition dues for Si2 Base members to also join the UPTC.

CMC Membership

Although many CMC members are also Si2 Base members you do not need to be a Si2 Base member to join the CMC.  CMC dues are also calculated differently than the previously discussed memberships.  Selecting the row in the CMC dues table that reflects the number of models you wish to designate will determine the annual dues.

Membership Agreements

Once you have selected the memberships that interest you, please email our membership team at membership@si2.org and they will set up some time to review the associated agreements with you and help you complete the process.
