ATMI's Emosyn Unit Opens New IC Design Center; New Director, Engineering to Manage Integrated Circuit Development.DANBURY, CT and SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , CA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 19, 1998--ATMI, Inc. (Nasdaq:ATMI ATMI American Textile Manufacturers Institute ATMI Association for Technology in Music Instruction ATMI Advanced Technology Materials, Inc. ATMI Application-to-Transaction Manager Interface ATMI According to My Information ATMI Atm Interface Unit ), today announced that its Emosyn venture has added David Sowards as Director, Engineering. Mr. Sowards' initial responsibility is setting up and managing Emosyn's new integrated circuit integrated circuit (IC), electronic circuit built on a semiconductor substrate, usually one of single-crystal silicon. The circuit, often called a chip, is packaged in a hermetically sealed case or a nonhermetic plastic capsule, with leads extending from it for (IC) design center in San Jose, CA. Mr. Sowards will lead the worldwide Emosyn Design and Development effort and joins an already established management team in Europe and the US. Nicholas Wood, Vice-President and General Manager of Emosyn, said, "This continued investment in developing a range of application-based IC's based on our core competency in non-volatile memory technology necessitates further expansion of the design team and the setting up of the San Jose office. David's design and management expertise enhances our novel approach to low voltage non-volatile memory." Before joining Emosyn, David Sowards was Director of Design Engineering for Information Storage Devices. Mr. Sowards has held various managementand non-volatile memory design engineering positions with Exar, Catalyst, Wafer Scale, Xicor, and Unisys. Emosyn is currently developing smart card IC's in alliance with SMH SMH Sydney Morning Herald (Australia) SMH St Michael's Hospital SMH Shaking My Head SMH Strong Memorial Hospital SMH Sanders Morris Harris Inc. SMH Screening for Mental Health, Inc. Swatch's EM Microelectronics. Emosyn, an ATMI venture, is a fabless semiconductor company A fabless semiconductor company specializes in the design and sale of hardware devices implemented on semiconductor chips. It achieves an advantage by outsourcing the fabrication of the devices to a specialized semiconductor manufacturer called a semiconductor foundry or "fab. focussed on the development and application of non-volatile memory. ATMI provides products and services for semiconductor device manufacture, including thin film materials and delivery systems marketed through ADCS ADCS Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study ADCS Automated Data Capture System ADCS Attitude Determination and Control System ADCS Attitude Determination and Control Subsystem ADCS Assistant Deputy Chief of Staff ADCS Army Dental Care System , environmental equipment marketed through EcoSys, thin film deposition Placing thin films of material onto metal, ceramic or semiconductor substrates. See sputtering. services marketed through Epitronics, and sub-atmospheric gas delivery systems marketed through NovaSource. Statements which are not historical information are forward looking, and involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to: changes in semiconductor industry growth or ATMI's markets; competition, problems, or delays developing and commercializing new products, and other factors discussed in ATMI's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. http://www.emosyn.atmi.com http://www.atmi.com
