X-FAB Silicon Foundries Company Description
X-FAB must think making microchips is a fabulous business. X-FAB Silicon Foundries provides contract manufacturing services, producing mixed-signal semiconductors for other chip companies. The company has wafer fabrication facilities (fabs) in Germany, Malaysia, the UK, and the US. The American wafer fab was acquired in 1999 from Texas Instruments. X-FAB bought the British fab from Zarlink Semiconductor in 2002. In 2006 X-FAB acquired Malaysia's 1st Silicon (now X-FAB Sarawak), a deal that nearly doubled X-Fab's manufacturing capacity, to 700,000 200mm-equivalent wafers per year. The merger offers X-FAB increased access to Asia/Pacific markets with local production facilities.
