Mosel Vitelic's Hsinchu Wafer Fab Receives ISO 9001 Certification.SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 22, 1996--Mosel Vitelic announced today that its memory integrated circuit (IC) fabrication fabrication (fab´rikā´sh  n),n the construction or making of a restoration. facility in Hsinchu, Taiwan, has received 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. 9001 certification, the most comprehensive quality standard within the ISO 9000 series. ISO 9001 describes the items a quality system must include and provides a quality assurance model for product design, development, production, installation and servicing. In December 1994, Mosel Vitelic's testing and burn in facilities, also in Hsinchu, received ISO 9002 certification. ISO 9002, which excludes product design activities, verifies that back-end operations meet or exceed the standards for quality procedures defined by the ISO 9000 certification series. With total capacity beyond 30,000 six-inch wafers per month, Mosel Vitelic's Hsinchu fabrication facility produces high-speed EDO Edo: see Tokyo, Japan. (extended data-out) and page-mode DRAMs (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. ) for Windows graphics accelerators and CD-ROM drives. Mosel Vitelic also builds SRAM See static RAM. SRAM - static random-access 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 )-based application-specific memories at the Hsinchu site. An eight-inch Hsinchu wafer fabrication site will begin production during 1997. Commenting on the certification, Mosel Vitelic President Hung Chiu Hu said, "Our ISO 9001 and ISO 9002 certifications provide our international customers with the ultimate assurance that Mosel Vitelic products meet or exceed worldwide standards for quality procedures." Mosel Vitelic designs, manufactures and markets memory ICs for worldwide computer graphics, data storage, telecommunications, digital consumer electronics and computer peripheral markets. The company applies state-of-the-art design techniques and high-density process technologies to manufacture DRAM, VRAM See video RAM. VRAM - video random-access memory and SRAM memories in varies configurations and with fast access rates not typically provided by general-purpose RAM products. On Sept. 19, 1995, Mosel Vitelic's common stock began trading on the Taiwan (Republic of China) Stock Exchange. Mosel Vitelic's home page can be accessed via http://www.moselvitelic.com.
