Melexis Collaborates with UMC to Deliver Chips for Automobile Applications
LEPER, Belgium & HSINCHU, Taiwan-- July 05, 2007 --Melexis, a leading Belgium-based manufacturer of automotive semiconductor integrated circuits (ICs), and UMC, a leading global semiconductor foundry, today announced that their successful collaboration has resulted in the delivery of chips using UMC’s 0.18um eFlash process and eFlash macro. The ICs are aimed at diversified automobile applications, including automotive sensors. Melexis and UMC have been cooperating on this product for several years, and the chip is currently being shipped to auto-module producers for assembly.
Rudi De Winter, CEO of Melexis: “Delivery of products with an embedded 0.18u flash processor is an important step for Melexis. It allows Melexis to fulfill the market needs for flexibility on integrated automotive systems on a chip.”
Henry Liu, senior vice president and head of the New Business Development Group at UMC, said, “Shipment of chips to Melexis' customers is a major milestone for everyone involved on this project, and is extremely rewarding due to the highly demanding and rigorous-quality demands that characterize the automobile industry.”
