Interesting news, but probably not exciting enough to get the stock moving higher....although they are focused on the right areas: high growth telecommunications and PC markets.
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 3, 1997--IMP, Inc.
(NASDAQ:IMPX) today announced two new wafer foundry processes for
data communication interface and computer display applications.
Designed for data communication interface applications, the
1-micron C1026 BiCMOS process features 12V CMOS output drivers and
schottky diodes. As an added feature, often needed in mixed-signal
applications, the double-metal, double-poly process includes low
temperature coefficient poly-resistors.
The higher voltage 1.2-micron C1227 BiCMOS process incorporates
the 36V high-voltage output drivers needed in mobile personal
computer display and power management applications. The
double-metal, double-poly process features high resistivity, 2k-ohm
per square poly-resistors.
"IMP's new high-voltage processes give IC designers access to a
high-volume, ISO 9001 facility with the specialized mixed-signal
process technology needed to serve the high growth data communication
and personal computer market segments," said Roger Meade, director
of foundry sales at IMP. He continued, "These new processes are
examples of our strong process engineering capability and ability to
develop processes to specific market requirements."
