Environmental Compliance
Government regulations impose various environmental controls on raw materials and discharges, emissions and solid
wastes from our manufacturing processes. In 2013, our wafer fabrication facilities continued to conform to the requirements of
ISO 14001 certification. To continue certification, we met annual requirements in environmental policy, compliance, planning,
management, structure and responsibility, training, communication, document control, operational control, emergency
preparedness and response, record keeping and management review. While we have not experienced any material adverse
effects to our operations from environmental regulations, changes in the regulations could necessitate additional capital
expenditures, modification of our operations or other compliance actions.
