Fabricates customer-designed chips as a pure-play foundry, with established-node logic and specialty platforms spanning mixed-signal, high-voltage, embedded memory and radio-frequency uses. Manufacturing runs through fabs in Taiwan, Singapore, China and Japan, while selective partnerships extend process development.
Fabricates customer-designed semiconductors rather than selling a broad portfolio of its own chip designs. The foundry offering combines established-node logic and mixed-signal manufacturing with specialty platforms for high-voltage, embedded memory, radio-frequency and power-management applications.
Operates a multinational fab network across Taiwan, Singapore, China and Japan. The pure-play model separates manufacturing from product design, limiting direct competition with customers and centering execution on reliable process platforms and manufacturing choice.
Concentrates development on differentiated specialty processes and selective technology partnerships instead of funding a full independent leading-edge roadmap. Expansion across jurisdictions depends on regulatory conditions, while future process options include collaboration with Intel.
