Rise in membership at FOA
Fab
Owners Association membership surges with addition of device makers SVTC
Technologies, Infineon, Maxim, Anadigics.
The Fab Owners Association (FOA), the
association of semiconductor / MEMS manufacturing executives and
suppliers, has announced the addition of it newest device maker
members:
Infineon Technologies, which offers semiconductors and system solutions for automotive, industrial electronics, chip card and security, as well as applications in communications
Maxim Integrated Products, whose mission is to deliver innovative analogue and mixed-signal engineering solutions that add value to their customers' products.
SVTC Technologies, which provides access to a full scale, 8 inch process development foundry and commercialisation services
ANADIGICS, providing high volume manufacturing of advanced GaAs RFICs.
In addition to these companies, the FOA also welcomed associate memberships from Capovani Brothers, Highvac Corporation, Novellus Systems and Prudential Overall Supply.
"We continue to build membership value and efficiencies through manufacturing benchmark programmes and by adding member driven study groups. Our collaborative facilities, maintenance and ESH study groups exchanging best practices, saving time, money and effort across the FOA membership, and these gains will be maximised as we add new study groups this year," stated L.T. Guttadauro, FOA executive director. "Our Group Purchasing Organisation is taking off and our associate membership continues to grow, seeing increasing value in affiliating with our device maker members."
The FOA's device maker members are the following companies: Anadigics, Austriamicrosystems, Avago Technologies, Cypress Semiconductor, Delphi Microelectronics Centre, Diodes, Fairchild Semiconductor, Freescale Semiconductor, Infineon Technologies, International Rectifier, Intersil, Jazz Semiconductor, Maxim Integrated Products, Micrel Semiconductor, Microchip Technology, ON Semiconductor, SVTC Technologies, Skyworks Solutions, and X-FAB.
FOA device maker member companies represent the production of over 1.2 million eight inch equivalent monthly wafer starts and US$32.0 Billion in annual revenues.
