Company description: Mosel Vitelic was founded on January 8, 1987 and started operations on April 3, 1987. In 1990 and 1991 the company merged with Mosel U.S.A. and Vitelic U.S.A. respectively. After year's endeavors and preparation, the company's shares of stock were successfully listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSEC) Established in 1961, the only centralized securities market in Taiwan. in September 1995. Currently, Mosel Vitelic produces a range of important semiconductor components including Dynamic Random Access Memory Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) is a type of random access memory that stores each bit of data in a separate capacitor within an integrated circuit. Since real capacitors leak charge, the information eventually fades unless the capacitor charge is refreshed periodically. (DRAM), Application Specific Memory, Static Random Access Memory Static random access memory (SRAM) is a type of semiconductor memory. The word "static" indicates that the memory retains its contents as long as power remains applied, unlike dynamic RAM (DRAM) that needs to be periodically refreshed (nevertheless, SRAM should not be confused with (SRAM See static RAM. SRAM - static random-access memory ), Voice ROM, micro-controllers and flash memory. These components have a wide range of applications in computers, communications and consumer electronics, which constitute a vital link in Taiwan's IT sector. For many years, Mosel Vitelic has been selling its own brand products through the company's global distribution network to markets that span the USA, Europe, and the Asia Pacific regions which has helped make Mosel Vitelic products widely used by many leading manufacturers around the world. In order to move steadily forward through the waves of the economic cycles, Mosel Vitelic has always striven for better product design and process technology. "ProMOS Technologies, Inc.," a joint venture company between Mosel Vitelic and Siemens AG Siemens AG German electrical-equipment manufacturer. The first Siemens company, Siemens & Halske, was founded in Berlin in 1847 to build telegraph installations. , was established in 1996 to build an advanced 8-inch fab specializing in the manufacturing of high density DRAM products of 64M and higher. It became the first manufacturer to successfully produce 64M DRAM in Taiwan. Promos will be using 0.17 micron technology Micron Technology ("Micron") NYSE: MU is a multinational company based in Boise, Idaho, USA, best known for producing many forms of semiconductor devices. This includes DRAM, SDRAM, flash memory, and CMOS image sensing chips. for the 266M, 128M and 64M DRAM in year 2000, while continuing the development of the next generation 0.14 micron technology. With its cutting-edge technology and outstanding operational performance, ProMOS was listed in OTC OTC See: Over-the-counter. OTC See over-the-counter market (OTC). in May 1999. In order to provide the professional back-end process services of the most advanced memory products, "ChipMOS Technologies, Inc." was established in 1997. ChipMOS has also expanded into the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) A display technology that uses rod-shaped molecules (liquid crystals) that flow like liquid and bend light. Unenergized, the crystals direct light through two polarizing filters, allowing a natural background color to show. driver IC sector through a technology alliance with well-known international manufacturers. Even through this latest industrial downturn, ChipMOS has achieved impressive operational performance. In preparation for the advent of the era of IT home appliances and communication networks, Mosel Vitelic has for many years been working aggressively to integrate the upstream From the consumer to the provider. See downstream. (networking) upstream - Fewer network hops away from a backbone or hub. For example, a small ISP that connects to the Internet through a larger ISP that has their own connection to the backbone is downstream from the larger and downstream sectors of the IC industry. Mosel Vitelic has built a solid foundation with thorough planning for design, wafer (1) A small, thin continuous-loop magnetic tape cartridge that has been used from time to time for data storage and specialized applications. (2) The base unit of chip making. It is a slice taken from a salami-like silicon crystal ingot up to 12" (300mm) in diameter. foundry, wafer production, testing, assembly, DRAM module assembly, and international marketing and sales channels. Mosel Vitelic has expanded into embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. memory and is moving towards establishing itself as a system-on-a-chip manufacturer. As part of the continuing upgrade of its technology and profitability, Mosel Vitelic is establishing a core technology development center, and is expanding its investment in 12-inch wafer fabs worldwide. With the advantages that it possesses in terms of vertical integration, Mosel Vitelic is set to become a system supplier providing its customers with one-stop shopping and total turnkey See turnkey system. solutions through its upstream and downstream affiliates. Looking ahead to the future on the basis of Mosel Vitelic's past achievements, Mosel Vitelic will be exploiting its first-class R&D capability and world-class product quality to establish itself as one of the world's leading semiconductor groups. Mosel Vitelic will also be making use of strategic alliances with leading global manufacturers to develop the next generation products and process technology. This will provide power for the Mosel Vitelic Group to continue to surpass itself and reach greater heights of operational success in the 21st century. |
