Skyworks honours TowerJazz with Innovation Award

Skyworks Solutions Inc of Woburn, MA, USA (which manufactures high-reliability analog and mixed-signal semiconductors) has bestowed its 2011 Innovation Award on specialty foundry TowerJazz (which has fabrication plants at Tower Semiconductor Ltd in Migdal Haemek, Israel, and at its subsidiaries Jazz Semiconductor in Newport Beach, CA, USA and TowerJazz Japan Ltd). This is the first time TowerJazz has won the award, but Skyworks previously honoured the firm with its Foundry Supplier of the Year award over three consecutive years.

Skyworks utilizes a range of TowerJazz's specialty processes, including mixed-signal CMOS, RFCMOS, BiCMOS, SOI and SiGe BiCMOS, to develop products such as transmit/receive modules, power amplifier controllers, switch controllers, linear devices, and wireless LAN solutions.

"Skyworks has been a long time customer of TowerJazz and we are extremely pleased to continue addressing their next-generation technology needs year after year to manufacture their leading-edge devices," said David Postula, TowerJazz vice president of sales. "This award demonstrates our commitment to partnering with our customers in helping reduce their costs through joint value-engineering projects that deliver economic benefits not only to existing but also new products. We truly appreciate the validation we consistently receive from Skyworks for our proven technology platforms and design enablement solutions as well as excellence in customer service and support."
