Troubled chip company Atmel Corp. has announced that Malaysian foundry 1st Silicon, has begun production of flash memory on its behalf at a fab in Kuching, Sarawak Malaysia foundry. Atmel (San Jose, Calif.) said last month that it was looking to cut staff and shift more to an outsourcing model.
Production of Atmel's 0.18-micron serial flash is now ramping at 1st Silicon's fab. Atmel also plans to have 1st Silicon manufacture 0.18-micron CMOS mixed-signal products and 0.13-micron flash memories. The two companies are discussing furthering their relationship in other areas, Atmel said.
“Using 1st Silicon's high-quality wafer facility fits our aggressive cost-reduction and production capability goals,” said Steve Schumann vice president, general manager, nonvolatile memories, in a statement.
