Our Industry
We are a global semiconductor company. Semiconductors are components used in a variety of electronic
products and systems. An integrated circuit (IC) is a semiconductor device that consists of many interconnected
transistors on a single chip. Since the invention of the transistor in 1948, improvements in IC process and design
technologies have led to the development of smaller, more complex and more reliable ICs at a lower cost-per-
function.
