Supertex Wafer Foundry
 
Advanced solutions for custom IC requirements

The Supertex 6-inch submicron wafer fab provides a broad offering of CMOS and CCD technologies as well as MEMS capabilities that meet the diverse needs of customers focused on the telecom/networking, imaging, medical and consumer/industrial/computing markets. In addition, the Supertex foundry has the ability to apply standard product technologies such as high voltage CMOS, DMOS and BiCMOS to achieve specific customer product performance requirements.

Offering practical and cost effective solutions
These technologies can be modified using our diverse photolithography equipment to support custom needs ranging from 0.5µm feature size and to very large wafer scale charge couple devices (CCDs) and imagers, requiring stitching several chips into one. Our commitment is to partner with our Foundry customers to achieve their product goals.

Ensuring first-silicon success
In addition to our standard processes, our multi-disciplined process engineers provide solutions by modifying our existing processes or developing new processes. Our foundry engineering has a wide range of experience and achievements in semiconductor technology and manufacturing. Working with customers throughout development and production cycles, we establish realistic time lines and provide continuous progress updates to ensure quality solutions on a timely basis.

Our goal
The key thrust of our foundry activity is (a) to work closely with our customers to satisfy their IC manufacturing needs, (b) to support their production requirements and (c) to provide guidance and support for future product needs. Supertex can supply tested wafers, dice or provide a complete turnkey solution of tested, packaged ICs.
