Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd one of the world's top dedicated foundries, has received the 2008 Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific Technology Leadership Award in the field of semiconductor fabrication and foundry services. The award recognizes excellence and expertise in semiconductor wafer fabrication technology and services.
Representatives for Chartered received the honor at the 2008 Frost & Sullivan Industrial Technologies Awards held recently in Kuala Lumpur. This is an annual event that recognizes outstanding performance by top companies in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service and strategic product development in both the regional and global markets for their respective industries.
Chartered was recognized for its long and continuing commitment to excellence in its market, outstanding customer relationships, as well as for its dedication to keeping its customer base at the leading edge of technology innovation through world-class collaborations that have enabled the company to excel in semiconductor fabrication technology.
"Chartered is proud to be recognized by Frost & Sullivan, one of the world’s premier analyst and consulting firms, as a technology leader, providing access to global innovation and invention. Through our commitment to advanced internal R&D and international collaborative innovation, we have successfully partnered with some of the world's largest semiconductor companies and more importantly, made it available to our customers and the industry," said Dr. Simon Yang, senior vice president, fab operations, and chief technology officer at Chartered. "Through the power of collaboration, we are changing our industry."
Chartered’s position among industry leaders in process technology started with its joint development agreement with IBM in November 2002. Chartered currently produces wafers using both 90–nanometer (nm) and 65nm process technology in its 300–millimeter facility. Chartered has also formed a manufacturing alliance with IBM and Samsung, known as Common Platform technology – a complete invention to access model which also provides customers the full capability to source at the 300-millimeter (mm) fabs of any or all of the three companies.
In addition to its leading-edge processes, Chartered offers value-added solutions with its more mature processes for wireless and consumer products, developed on technology nodes ranging from 0.13 micron to 0.6 micron. These solutions are typically based on BiCMOS, RFCMOS, high-voltage for applications such as mobile display, LCD screens or non–volatile memory for applications such as code storage, radio frequency identification (RFID) cards, fuse and controller units.
