Fujitsu to Feature Industry-Leading Process Technology, Packaging Services in Booth 535 at Annual Fabless Semiconductor Association Conference

Senior VP Keith Horn to Present “Beyond the IDM Business Model” October 5

Sunnyvale, CA, October 3, 2005 — Fujitsu Microelectronics America, Inc. (FMA) will feature Fujitsu's industry-leading 65-nanometer and 90-nanometer process technologies at the annual Fabless Semiconductor Association Suppliers Expo and Conference October 5-6 at the San Jose Convention Center.

Fujitsu will present its wafer foundry, package foundry and full turnkey services, along with a video that describes its latest process technology at the new Mie, Japan, fabrication facility. The company will exhibit its new 300mm wafer from the Mie factory, and describe its global leadership in low-power and low-leakage process capabilities.

Also on display will be Fujitsu's comprehensive set of packaging options that support very high pin counts for a variety of high-performance applications. Packages include MCP, SiP, BCC, and EBGA, along with organic and ceramic Flip-chip BGA, all available as part of Fujitsu's one-stop turkey packaging services, which include design, simulation, assembly, and test.

Highlighting "Green Solutions" and Processes
In addition, Fujitsu will highlight its environmentally friendly and safe production facilities, along with its innovative lead-free packaging. Fujitsu's environmental commitments include "green solutions" such as reduced waste and CO2 emissions, which have been reduced more than 20 percent since fiscal year 2000. By the end of 2005 Fujitsu expects to replace 90 percent of its most commonly used components with versions that are free of specific hazardous substances. Recycling and re-use rates also are increasing dramatically at all the company's facilities.
