Foundry and assembly: "Most of our devices are currently fabricated using standard complementary metal oxide semiconductor process technology with 0.08 micron (typo?) to 0.18 micron feature sizes........Our primary foundry is Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, or TSMC, which has manufactured integrated circuits for us since 1987. TSMC and Tower Semiconductor Ltd. are currently manufacturing our DVD, DTV, imaging and mobile products. LSI Corporation is providing turn-key manufacturing for one high-end laser-printer product. Our independent foundries fabricate products for other companies and may also produce products of their own design.
