Cirrus adds UMC as multi-year foundry source for advanced ICs Semiconductor Business News (02/04/02 12:26 p.m. EST) siliconstrategies.com AUSTIN, Tex. -- Cirrus Logic Inc. today announced it has entered into a new multi-year foundry agreement to source advanced ICs from United Microelectronics Corp. in Taiwan. Under the pact, UMC will accelerate the availability of mixed-signal and other processes for Cirrus chip designs, based on features sizes down to 0.10 micron (100 nm). The agreement comes on the heels of another long-term foundry pact between Austin-based Cirrus and Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Pte. Ltd. in Singapore. Last fall, Cirrus said Chartered was designated its "preferred" silicon foundry for mixed-signal ICs, including devices fabricated with 0.10-micron feature sizes in the future
