AMEC

Confidence Breeds Success

Increase Productivity, Reduce Costs

Deep in the heart of Asia, where most of the world’s cell phone chips are built, a young capital equipment company is taking center stage. Meet AMEC (Advanced Micro-Fabrication Equipment Inc.), a maker of semiconductor manufacturing equipment that ranks among the world’s most advanced.

“ AMEC’s technologies and products help produce the kind of cutting-edge chipsets that Qualcomm develops to power some of the world’s most advanced wireless communications devices. ”

AMEC Chairman and CEO

AMEC’s chip-making technologies increase factory productivity while reducing production costs—welcome news for global semiconductor manufacturers shipping millions of chips annually.

Leading-Edge Solutions

In 2007, Qualcomm saw itself as a potential beneficiary of these solutions and invested in AMEC’s future.

“AMEC’s technologies and products help produce the kind of cutting-edge chipsets that Qualcomm develops to power some of the world’s most advanced wireless communications devices,” notes AMEC Chairman and CEO, Gerald Yin.

Sophisticated Equipment

AMEC’s offerings, which include dielectric chemical vapor deposition and dielectric etch systems, are used to perform two of the most critical steps in advanced semiconductor manufacturing.

The company’s wafer fabrication solutions drive higher throughput, superior on-wafer performance, and lower cost of ownership for chips leveraging 65/45 nanometer (nm) process technologies.

AMEC’s offerings parallel Qualcomm’s migration to these same technologies. Chipsets built with 65/45 nm technologies enable smaller, more highly integrated, feature-rich, power-efficient wireless devices.

Close to Customers

A compelling product portfolio isn’t the only factor behind Qualcomm’s vote of confidence in AMEC. Another is the company’s location.

Headquartered in Shanghai, AMEC is in close proximity to its major customers. The location also affords easy access to Asia’s extensive supply chain, boosting AMEC’s ability to source the best components more efficiently and cost-effectively.

And then there’s the customer support system. To deliver fast, efficient, high-quality support to global customers, AMEC maintains an international network of customer service and support centers.

Measures of Success

In many ways, AMEC is doing everything right—the company is enjoying rapid growth, it has a strong relationship with Qualcomm, and it’s already shipping products that deliver on its vision.
