UMC

UMC

UMC specializes in providing foundry services for high performance semiconductor applications. Our core competency lies in our ability to produce high yield Integrated Circuit (IC) wafers, manufactured on a per-customer basis. We draw our distinction from industry leading technology such as our 0.15 micron process and copper interconnect technology. In addition to wafer manufacturing, UMC customers benefit from services such as extensive IP resources, free-of-charge design libraries, and full front-end and backend support.
UMC has offices in Taiwan, Japan, Europe, and the United States, with our head marketing and sales division strategically located in the heart of Silicon Valley, California. We employ over 7,000 people worldwide and operate a total of 9 wafer fabrication plants (fabs) in Taiwan and Japan, with a 1999 production total of 1.8 million 8-inch equivalant wafers.

Research and Development
Technology leadership will continue to be a significant competitive advantage for UMC and our customers. We have consistently invested heavily in R&D, and we will be the first foundry in the world to deliver 0.18um, 6 metal Copper interconnect in 2000. UMC ranks among the top 10 companies worldwide in semiconductor process patents granted in the USA.
