DongbuAnam Earns ISO Quality Certification for Automotive Electronics.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SEOUL, South Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 13, 2004 ISO/TS 16949 Certification Ensures That DongbuAnam Foundry Wafers Comply With Rigorous Quality Standards for Automotive Electronics Applications DongbuAnam Semiconductor, a leading international pure-play wafer foundry, today announced it has earned ISO/TS 16949 certification from the highly respected British Standards Institution (BSI BSI - British Standards Institute ). With this sanction, DongbuAnam becomes the first Korean semiconductor manufacturing company and the second foundry worldwide to be certified for this new internationally recognized automotive quality standard. With the consolidation of European and North American standards (including QS 9000) by the International Organization for Standardization International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Organization for determining standards in most technical and nontechnical fields. Founded in Geneva in 1947, its membership includes more than 100 countries. (ISO (1) See ISO speed. (2) (International Organization for Standardization, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iso.ch) An organization that sets international standards, founded in 1946. The U.S. member body is ANSI. ) and the International Automotive Task Force (IATF IATF International Automotive Task Force IATF Inter Association Task Force IATF Information Assurance Technical Framework IATF Information Assurance Task Force IATF Internet Access Task Force (Estes Park, Colorado) ), the ISO/TS 16949 standard imposes much stricter technical and quality standards than previous certifications set forth in 1994 and 2000. "This latest ISO certification shows the ongoing commitment by DongbuAnam towards quality management," said Jae Song, EVP EVP Executive Vice President EVP EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) Valve Position Sensor EVP Electronic Voice Phenomenon EVP Europäische Volkspartei (Germany) EVP Employee Value Proposition of worldwide marketing. He noted that this certification is geared for the manufacturing of semiconductor wafers using high voltage and analog technologies. "We expect to make these bipolar LDMOS LDMOS Laterally Diffused Metal Oxide Semiconductor LDMOS Lateral DMOS LDMOS Lightly-Doped Drain Metal-Oxide Semiconductor LDMOS Lateral Diffusion Mosfet and analog technologies available in the first quarter of 2004, specifically targeting the automotive market," he added. DongbuAnam confirmed that preliminary inspections and system implementations for ISO/TS 16949 were initiated in March of 2003, final inspections were passed in November, and certification was achieved in early December. According to DongbuAnam, the rigorous inspections encompassed policies, training, quality management, sales management, and production management as well as other general quality control disciplines. DongbuAnam is the second foundry worldwide to be certified for ISO/TS 16949 with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC TSMC Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd TSMC Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation TSMC Traffic Systems Management Center TSMC Toll Station Management Controller TSMC Transportation Supply Maintenance Command TSMC Technical Services Manager Code ) being the first.
