Anadigics and WIN announce strategic foundry relationship

A strategic agreement has been announced for Taiwan’s WIN Semiconductors Corp (the world’s largest pure-play gallium arsenide foundry) to provide GaAs-based wireless and broadband communications component maker Anadigics Inc of Warren, NJ, USA with processing services to meet demand for its radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs).

The foundry agreement complements the continued production of devices at Anadigics’ 6-inch GaAs manufacturing facility.

Anadigics says that the relationship forms the cornerstone of its new hybrid manufacturing strategy, which provides for a mix of internal and external manufacturing capabilities to ensure that demand can be met at all times.

“With this new relationship, not only will we be able to meet the increasing customer demand, our design teams will be able to leverage a range of additional technologies,” says Anadigics’ CEO Mario Rivas.

WIN will deliver services that complement Anadigics’ internal strengths, comments the foundry’s chairman Dennis Chen. “We look forward to making our technologies available to their RF designers,” he adds.

“This strategic agreement and implementation of our hybrid manufacturing strategy will ensure that we have the capacity to ramp up to meet growing product demand while ensuring we meet our own high internal standards for quality, delivery and customer satisfaction,” says Russ Wagner, Anadigics’ VP of operations.
