NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., October 15, 2018
– TowerJazz, the global specialty foundry leader,
today announced the Company is increasing its technology portfolio
that is compliant with ITAR (International Traffic in Arms
Regulations) by adding 65nm technology access for next-generation
ROICs (Readout Integrated Circuits), enabling essential military
and space applications critical to national defense. ROICs are used
for reading infrared and ultraviolet detectors in military
surveillance and other applications ranging from x-ray astronomy to
security and industrial inspection.
Initial products serving the US aerospace and
defense community have taped-out in this new 65nm offering and
additional products are in design. Through proper licensing
TowerJazz can provide access for aerospace and defense customers to
an increasing technology portfolio including high dynamic range
image sensors (CIS and CCD), integrated power devices (BCD, SOI,
and LDMOS) and high frequency silicon RFCMOS.
“We are excited to announce this new advanced
capability to our customers. Adding 65nm, and soon, 45nm
technology for ITAR products enables our aerospace and defense
customers additional avenues to continue to create advanced
products to serve this very critical market,” said Mike Scott,
Director, TowerJazz USA Aerospace & Defense.
Further details will be discussed at TowerJazz’s
U.S. Technical Global Symposium (TGS) to be held on November 7,
2018 at the Hilton Santa Clara, CA. To view the agenda and/or
