SilTerra, a leading CMOS and MEMS pure-play wafer foundry in Malaysia announced this week that it has received the IATF 16949:2016 automotive certification from SGS (Societe Generale de Surveillance), a world leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company with headquarters located in Geneva, Switzerland. The IATF 16949:2016 was launched in October 2016 to supersede and replace ISO/TS 16949 and it represents an evolution for quality management in the automotive industry. Manufacturers with the IATF 16949 certification are recognized for their ability to meet the demands of automotive manufacturing, promising superior process integration, customer confidence, and product performance.
"We are delighted for achieving this key milestone, which demonstrated SilTerra's organization management system, manufacturing system and process control system are fully compliant to the international automotive quality management system. Our fabrication processes are ready to manufacture for automotive products which require stringent quality control with extended reliability assurance," said Firdaus Abdullah, CEO of SilTerra. "With this accomplishment, we can broaden our customer base aggressively by offering our wafer foundry service to automotive product companies," he added.
SilTerra is a wafer foundry offering fabrication and design support services in CMOS logic, high-voltage, mixed-signal, RF, BCD, discrete power, silicon photonics, life science and MEMS technologies down to 90 nanometer feature size. SilTerra's wafer fab has a design-in capacity of 46,000 eight-inch wafers per month and currently serves customers in US, Taiwan, Korea, and China.
SilTerra is IATF 16949:2016, ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2016, OHSAS 18001:2007, and IECQ QC 080000:2017 certified. The company started commercial production in 2001, and its headquarters and factory are located in Malaysia's Kulim Hi-Tech Park, with sales and marketing offices in San Jose (California) and Hsinchu (Taiwan).
