JaTc will open with a presentation by Russell Ellwanger, Tower CEO and Jazz Chairman of the Board of Directors, who will present the key milestones of Tower and Jazz’s merger and the past year’s accomplishments as well as discuss the future strategic initiatives of the combined global company. Subsequently, a keynote will be presented by Len Jelinek, iSuppli’s Director and Chief Analyst of Semiconductor Manufacturing who will provide an industry outlook. Next, Tower and Jazz will provide a technology and design enablement services update and offer window tours of its 200mm manufacturing facility.

“I am delighted to share the company’s milestones during the past year since the merger was completed and to show how we have become one company, twice as strong,” said Russell Ellwanger, Tower CEO and Jazz Chairman of the Board of Directors. “The integration of Tower and Jazz has provided many benefits including fully complementary technical offerings and roadmaps, increased capacity, a larger and more diversified customer base, substantial cost reduction through the elimination of duplicate contextual functions, and the realization of supply chain synergies; all of which have put us in a strong financial position. We are the fastest growing foundry over the previous three years and we foresee this for 2009 as well. The completion of our integration has put us in the position of global specialty foundry leader and we are optimistic to sustain profitable growth for the next years to come. We invite all to attend and share the excitement that we, and many of our customers, have already experienced.”



The afternoon sessions will center around the Analog-Intensive Mixed-Signal Circuits, Applications, and Technology (AIMS-CAT) seminar bringing together invited speakers to discuss the latest technical advances in areas such as emerging millimeter applications, integrated power management platforms, non-volatile memory (NVM), current trends in imaging technology, and design flow for RF SiGe applications, among others.
