Sustained emphasis on technology innovation and manufacturing scale propelled WIN to become the largest pure-play III-V wafer foundry, and continued investment in 5G technologies position the company for future success…

Tao Yuan, Taiwan – September 30, 2019: WIN Semiconductors Corp (TPEx:3105), the world’s largest pure-play compound semiconductor foundry, commemorates the 20th anniversary of its founding in October 1999. Since the start of production from its first factory in Taoyuan City, Taiwan, WIN has grown faster than the compound semiconductor market and now operates three highly automated wafer fabs, employing nearly 3000 people. The company has achieved sustained business growth through continuous investment in leading edge III-V technologies, timely expansion of production capacity, and flexible efficient manufacturing. These core competencies provide a competitive advantage for WIN’s customers across a broad set of applications and end markets.

Key to WIN’s 20-year record of success is a portfolio of III-V technologies supporting diverse functions from RF and mmWave frequencies through light-wave applications. Critical components leveraging WIN’s HBT, pHEMT, GaN and VCSEL technologies touch billions of people every day and can be found in smartphones as well as the wireless and optical networks deployed across the Globe. This tradition of III-V innovation is now focused on advanced technologies to satisfy the stringent performance requirements of the 5G market. Multiple high-performance technologies are now commercially available, and deliver the optimal combination of performance, integration and efficiency for next generation 5G frontends, low latency connections and massive MIMO access points. This broad portfolio covers 5G sub-6GHz (<6GHz) bands for ubiquitous network coverage and mmWave (~30GHz) for the access points supporting fixed and mobile broadband services.

Reflecting on the company’s 20th anniversary, WIN CEO Kyle Chen said “WIN Semiconductors has achieved this milestone through the hard work of its dedicated employees, close relationships with our customers, and a deep understanding of III-V technology and the performance advantages provided by compound semiconductors. These key attributes enabled WIN to become the world’s largest pure-play III-V wafer foundry, and a key element of the global supply chain for RF, mmWave and optical components used in smartphones, fixed and wireless networks, and aerospace and defense systems.”
