Department of Defense & Defense Microelectronics Activity accreditations make ON Semiconductor a trusted, secure source for design and manufacture of military and aerospace ASICs and supply chain management.

ON Semiconductor a premier supplier of high performance silicon solutions for energy efficient electronics, has been granted Category 1A Trusted Foundry accreditation for its Pocatello, Idaho, ‘Fab 10’, and Gresham, Oregon, facilities. The Trusted Foundry Program is a Department of Defense (DOD) project to accredit trusted, secure sources for the development and manufacture of Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) for a wide range of critical DOD applications including GPS, thermal imaging and encrypted media. The program seeks to negate the potential risk of system counterfeiting, tampering or sabotage.

In addition to Trusted Foundry Accreditation, ON Semiconductor has also been granted ‘Broker’ accreditation with Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMEA). This enables ON Semiconductor to support the entire trusted manufacturing process through engagement with other trusted suppliers for design, packaging and test. The combination of the two accreditations benefits military and defense customers by providing a fully integrated trusted manufacturing solution.

The two accredited ON Semiconductor facilities encompass a wide range of capabilities and technologies to support a large number of diverse military and aerospace applications. The Pocatello ‘Fab 10’ foundry has a 40,000 square foot (ft2) cleanroom manufacturing space and supports several processes down to 350 nanometer (nm) CMOS digital / mixed-signal. Gresham has a 100,000 ft2 cleanroom and offers several process varieties including 250 nm digital / mixed-signal, 180 nm CMOS digital / mixed-signal and 110 nm CMOS digital ‘SP110’ processes.
