Crossy, Amkor and Anam formerly were the same company. I think about three years ago, they split up. From this article, it appears that Amkor retains a close relationship with Anam as a business representative in the US and elsewhere. What do you think of ChipPAC (CHPC)? Best, SAF ========= Anam Semiconductor Receives TI's 2001 Supplier Excellence Award CHANDLER, Ariz.--April 9, 2002--Amkor Technology (Nasdaq:AMKR) said that Anam Semiconductor, Inc. has been awarded Texas Instruments Supplier Excellence Award for 2001. Each year TI recognizes a select group of companies who contribute significantly to TI's business success. Suppliers are rated on the basis of environmental responsibility, technology, responsiveness, supply assurance, cost and quality. Only 28 companies in TI's worldwide supplier base received the award this year. Anam was the only foundry to be so honored. ``It is extremely gratifying to receive this award, which recognizes that strategic manufacturing partnership that exists among Amkor, Anam and TI,'' said Amkor Executive Vice President Eric Larson. ``This award is a tribute to the dedicated employees of Anam and Amkor Wafer Fabrication Services who have worked hard to support TI's success.'' Anam Semiconductor fabricates digital signal processor chips for TI at its wafer foundry in Korea; Amkor Wafer Fabrication Services provides support for Anam in the US. Earlier this year, Anam and Amkor completed their fourth Technical Assistance Agreement with TI, assuring continued technical cooperation between the companies. The Anam foundry, established in 1998, was developed with technology transferred from TI. The foundry currently produces 8-inch semiconductor wafers using a range of sub-micron process technologies at the 0.35, 0.25, 0.18 and 0.15-micron process levels. Manufacturing capacity is approximately 30,000 wafer-starts per month. About Amkor: Amkor Technology, Inc. is the world's largest provider of contract semiconductor assembly and test solutions. The company offers semiconductor companies and electronics OEMs a complete set of microelectronic design and manufacturing services.
