【Leveraging UMC's Leadership in Advanced Foundry Technologies】 UMCJ's operations are based on world leading foundry UMC's advanced processes,IP and library resources,and leading-edge manufacturing technology.We also enjoy complete cooperation from UMC's network of group companies such as Singapore based UMC Singapore and Tainan/Taiwan, in which we have access to its advanced 300mm manufacturing.This cooperative structure allows UMCJ to realize vastly increased manufacturing and technology capabilities, advantages that are passed directly to our international and domestic customer base.
【Japan's Only Pure-play Foundry】
Future development of core products and continued expansion of product lines will serve as important competitive strengths for both fabless companies and IDMs (vertically Integrated Device Manufacturers) in JAPAN. As Japan's only professional semiconductor foundry, UMCJ enjoys a favorable business model as we use manufacturing know how and a wide range of advanced process technologies to help our customers succeed. UMCJ does not manufacture its own product line and therefore we do not compete with our customers.
【Profiting from the Growing Demand for Foundry Services in Japan】
Unlike other semiconductor producing countries, Japan currently dose not outsource a large percentage of its IC manufacturing to foundries. However,Lookig towards the future, Japan's semiconductor companies are likely to notice and appreciate the enormous advantages a foundry can offer. Because UMCJ has domestic manufacturing operations in Japan, we are extremely well positioned to provide a wide range of hiht value-added services,such as customized processes specially developed for our Japan customers and cooperative manufacturing arrangements backed by speed and flexibility.
