JAZZ SEMICONDUCTOR ANNOUNCES ANNUAL TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE
Jazz to Highlight Business Initiatives, Technology Roadmap,
and Design Kit and Modeling Features to Enable the Manufacture of
Highly Integrated Analog SoCs
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., October 9, 2006
-- Jazz Semiconductor, an independent wafer foundry focused primarily
on specialty CMOS process technologies, today announced it will
host its Annual Technology Conference on Friday, November 3, 2006.
The one-day conference will provide an overview of Jazz Semiconductor's
technology roadmap, business highlights and strategic initiatives
as well as offer tours of the company's specialty manufacturing
facility. Jazz is holding its Annual Technology Conference at its
Newport Beach headquarters, following the 4th International System-on-Chip
(SoC) Conference & Exhibit on November 1-2, also in Newport
Beach.
The Jazz Technology Conference will offer presentations on foundry
market trends, Jazz new process offerings and the company's manufacturing
operations. Jazz will also highlight its analog foundry model and
its design kit and modeling features that enable advanced analog
integration for next generation wireless, power management, high
speed networking and data storage products. Jazz technology offerings
include High Voltage CMOS, Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD), RFCMOS and SiGe
BiCMOS processes for the manufacture of highly integrated analog
systems-on-chip (SoCs), a concept often relegated to the digital
realm, but now becoming more mainstream with the trends towards
convergence in consumer and wireless products.
"The Jazz Technology Conference will provide our existing
customers and future business partners with a view of our technology
roadmap, including the latest process technologies offered by Jazz
for advanced analog integration, and the availability of new features
and enhancements to our existing modeling and design kit infrastructure,"
said Marco Racanelli, vice president of technology and engineering
at Jazz Semiconductor. "We are able to offer attendees a unique
opportunity to meet with our executives and business leaders, learn
about our specialty process offerings, and tour our manufacturing
facility."
Among Jazz Semiconductor's new process offerings to be highlighted
at the conference are its 40V Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) processes
targeted for power management ICs and high performance amplifiers
and drivers for consumer applications. Jazz will also provide an
update on its leading 0.13-micron SiGe BiCMOS process, SBL13, which
supports a low cost bipolar module for higher levels of digital
integration coupled with analog and RF features for low cost wireless
products. In addition, Jazz will showcase its manufacturing capability
for MEMs devices and other high performance RF and Analog features.
Jazz executives will also discuss the importance of accurate, comprehensive
modeling in Analog and RF and how the company is bridging the design
and manufacturing gap by pairing modular processes with modular
design infrastructure.
Recently, Jazz has announced the availability of new features and
enhancements to its modeling and design kit infrastructure including
its Process Control Monitor Tool (PCMT),
its advanced modeling tool for analog and RF foundry customers.
Jazz PCMT allows designers to close the loop between circuit simulation
and actual product designs. Jazz also announced its highly developed
inductor design and modeling platform. The Jazz Inductor Toolbox
(JIT) provides designers with a state-of-the-art design tool for
octagonal and square inductors.
The Jazz Technology Conference will be held on Friday, November
3, 2006, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Jazz Headquarters located
at 4321 Jamboree Road, Newport Beach, California, 92660. For more
information or online registration, please visit the company's website

SoC Conference will be held on November 1-2 at the Radisson Hotel
in Newport Beach. For more information, please visit www.SoCconference.com.
Attendees of the SoC event are invited for fab tours of the Jazz
manufacturing facility and to attend the Jazz Technology Conference.
