2008 Press Releases |
ATREG represented Atmel Corporation in the sale of their operational 150mm fab in Heilbronn, Germany to Tejas Silicon Holdings (UK) Ltd. The transaction included a wafer supply agreement, intellectual property licensing for significant analog and mixed signal process technology, a growing foundry business, and a lease of the 800,000 square foot campus. Technology included automotive qualified BCD on SOI, BiCMOS and BIPOLAR processes to 0.3µm. As part of the agreement, approximately 260 Atmel employees directly associated with fab operations and other support functions are now part of Tejas Silicon Holdings. With this most recent sale, ATREG has now assisted Atmel in the disposition of three front-end manufacturing plants – complementing Atmel’s restructuring efforts and accelerating the transition to a fab-lite manufacturing model.

In an effort to optimize semiconductor manufacturing resources worldwide, Renesas Technology Corporation retained ATREG to complete a thorough evaluation of disposition options related to its front-end semiconductor manufacturing operation in Europe. ATREG’s assignment concluded with the successful sale of Renesas’ operational 200mm fab in Landshut, Germany to Silicon Foundry Holding GmbH (SFH). The fab produces secure microcontroller wafers for smart card applications on 0.35µm, 0.18µm and recently 0.15µm process technologies. SFH will transform the Landshut operation to an advanced analog pure-play foundry specializing in analog and mixed signal wafer production with Renesas outsourcing some production to SFH in a wafer supply agreement. The successful result enables Renesas to concentrate its wafer fabrication investments in fabs capable of meeting the company’s higher-volume manufacturing needs.

Caen, France - October 29, 2008 - NXP Semiconductors, a global leader in the development and fabrication of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced it has retained ATREG, the semiconductor sales division of Colliers International to sell its Integrated Passives Device business (IPD) and related operational 150mm semiconductor manufacturing facility in Caen, France.
The offering involves a full array of proven patents and IP, the existing business and technology development team and the R&D excellence center. The IP and patents center around integrated passive device (Passive Integrated Circuits) products that have direct applicability with cell phones, handheld devices, but also professional devices to bring performance, miniaturization and IP protection as well as cost reduction.
“NXP is willing to sell its Integrated Passives Device business along with the manufacturing operations. NXP is already a leader in this growing multi-billion dollar market and a purchase of the business would allow a buyer to instantly gain a substantial foothold in the marketplace,” said Stephen Rothrock, Colliers Senior Vice President and Managing Director of ATREG. “The fab’s long history of manufacturing excellence and a highly esxperienced and motivated workforce make this a very attractive offering,” asserts Rothrock.
Jean-Yves Muller, Vice President and General Manager NXP Semiconductors France, added, "NXP selected Stephen Rothrock and Doug Barrett of ATREG to assist us with the Caen offering as we have with our East Fishkill offering. We feel they are uniquely qualified to help us capitalize on the global interest we have expereneced since our announcement.” Muller emphasized, “NXP realizes the unique value proposition of hte CAen offering and what this business could provide in terms of long-term revenue to a purchaser."
