Jazz Semiconductor is a pure-play specialty foundry which offers
exceptional wafer manufacturing services to its customers. With more
than fifteen years of expertise operating a world-class certified wafer fabrication facility (ISO9001, ISO14001, BS7799), Jazz is well-positioned
as a top player in the high-performance foundry marketplace.
Jazz is located at the center of a thriving
high-tech region in Newport Beach, California, that includes Conexant
Systems, Mindspeed Technologies, and Skyworks Solutions, with the
University of Southern California, Irvine and the John Wayne Airport
nearby. Our expansive facility occupies 100,000 square feet and
supports state-of-the-art Class 1 and Class 10 cleanrooms. In 1999,
an extensive base-isolation seismic upgrade project was completed
to ensure that potential earth tremors will not damage equipment or interrupt operations.
The foundry is capable of producing more than twenty
thousand 8-inch wafers per month and supports the manufacturing of process technologies down to 0.13-micron geometries,
while focusing on high performance technologies for mixed-signal
and RF applications, such as silicon germanium (SiGe), BiCMOS and RFCMOS, which accompany its industry-standard CMOS offerings.
Jazz maintains low-cost manufacturing partnerships
in Shanghai, China, with Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation
(ASMC) and Hua Hong NEC Electronics Co., Ltd (HHNEC), expanding
its capacity as well as its process offerings, providing outstanding
dual-sourcing to Jazz customers.
