International Rectifier HEXFET America Wafer Fabrication Facility Granted JANS Certification.Technology Editors EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 2, 2001 International Rectifier, IR(R) (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :IRF), today announced that the Defense Supply Center Columbus (DSCC DSCC Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee DSCC Defense Supply Center Columbus (US DoD) DSCC Dyersburg State Community College (Dyersburg, TN) ) has granted JANS certification for IR's HEXFET HEXFET Hexagonal Field Effect Transistor America (HEXAM) wafer fabrication facility located in Temecula, California. The wafer facility is certified for compliance with MIL-PRF-19500. Compliance means that HEXFET America is certified to produce JANS N- and P-channel power MOSFET wafers for use in high-reliability applications. Richard Southwell, International Rectifier Hi-Rel Components Group Marketing Manager, said, "JANS is the highest quality level assigned by MIL-PRF-19500, and MIL-PRF-19500 is the performance specification currently used by nearly every space-level customer. Earning JANS certification reinforces IR's position as a premier supplier of hi-rel products." In addition, other quality levels such as JANTXV and JANTX JANTX Joint Army-Navy Technical Exchange may also be supplied by the HEXFET America fabrication facility. HEXFET America is IR's high volume wafer fabrication supplier of power Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (electronics) Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor - (MOSFET) A Field Effect Transistor in which the conducting channel is insulated from the gate terminal by a layer of oxide. Therefore it does not conduct even if a reverse voltage is applied to the gate. (MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) The most popular and widely used type of field effect transistor (see FET). MOSFETs are either NMOS (n-channel) or PMOS (p-channel) transistors, which are fabricated as individually packaged ), Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) and other semiconductor switch technologies. IR's Hi-Rel Components Group will act as the supplier of JANS dice and finished (screened) products. Wafer lots selected for JANS applications will be analyzed for compliance to JANS criteria by IR's Hi-Rel Components Group.
