Plessey Semiconductors has started trading from its semiconductor manufacturing facility in Roborough, Plymouth. The company has been created from the acquisition of the share capital of X-Fab UK, together with existing key engineering competence within a design and technology centre located in Swindon.
The semiconductor manufacturing facility in Roborough currently produces eight-inch wafers for external customers in a foundry business model on 0.35um CMOS process technologies. Plessey Semiconductors is transferring its bipolar process technologies on silicon and silicon-on-insulator substrates into its Roborough facility. Plessey Semiconductors will also develop and support a range of high-performance analogue and mixed-signal semiconductor products.
