Cooperations: Establishing strategic partnerships

Through strategic cooperation with partners, ELMOS can make useful additions to its own capabilities in order to offer a broader product portfolio in the long term and thus to increase competitiveness. Within the framework of cooperation, we are developing a new technology generation together with the South Korean contract manufacturer MagnaChip and also use this company as partner foundry. In 2011 we obtained processed wafers for series production from MagnaChip for the first time. Thus ELMOS is able to cut down on expenditure requirements and respond more flexibly to heavily fluctuating volumes. Apart from MagnaChip, we work together with a large number of partners for assembly and testing.
