Pure-play semiconductor foundry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A pure-play semiconductor foundry is a company that does not offer a significant amount of IC products of its own design, but instead operates semiconductor fabrication plants focussed on producing ICs for other companies.[citation needed]

As of 2004, the top 10 pure-play semiconductor foundries were:

  1. TSMC (Taiwan)
  2. UMC Group (Taiwan)
  3. Chartered (Singapore)
  4. SMIC (China)
  5. Dongbu/Anam (South Korea)
  6. SSMC (Singapore)
  7. HHNEC (China)
  8. Jazz Semiconductor (U.S.)
  9. Silterra (Malaysia)
