This collaboration aims to provide comprehensive long-term storage solutions for semiconductors, including die and wafer banking, to meet the evolving needs of the electronics manufacturing industry. The partnership between Partstat and WIN Semiconductors will combine Partstat’s expertise in inventory management and storage with WIN’s advanced semiconductor manufacturing capabilities.
This collaboration ensures that customers receive high-quality semiconductor products with reliable long-term storage solutions, addressing critical challenges in the supply chain. Partstat specialises in delivering innovative supply chain solutions that add value across the entire product lifecycle.
WIN Semiconductors, founded in October 1999, is reportedly the first pure-play 6-inch GaAs foundry in the world and has established advanced compound semiconductor fab services to meet the growing demand for cost-effective manufacturing of high-quality GaAs and GaN MMICs and RFICs. WIN operates three advanced fabs with a broad range of technology, providing HBT, pHEMT and BiHEMT processes for RF and optical applications. With an annual capacity exceeding half a million wafers, WIN boasts an approximate 65% market share among compound semiconductor foundries.
Key advantages of this partnership include:
- Semiconductor die, wafer and even physical mask set storage if desired
- Completely secure and environmentally hard facilities
- A cost-efficient and administratively simple solution
“We are excited to partner with WIN Semiconductors to offer their clients unparalleled storage and banking solutions for their semiconductor needs,” said Dennis Menefee, President and CEO of Partstat. “This collaboration aligns with our commitment to enhancing supply chain efficiency and reliability for WIN Semiconductors’ customers.”
“With the growing concerns over supply chain risk, many companies are recognizing the need for a secure and flexible supply chain for their products. This new partnership with Partstat highlights WIN Semiconductors’ commitment to robust supply solutions for our customers. This will enable them to store their die, wafers and mask sets external to Taiwan with easy access while safeguarding their technologies,” said Russ Wagner, Vice President of Business Development for WIN Semiconductors.
This partnership marks a significant step forward in addressing the complexities of semiconductor storage and inventory management, providing a robust solution for industries reliant on these critical components.
