Our Vision

We are an international, nonprofit, mutual-benefit corporation of semiconductor fab owners and associates who meet regularly to discuss and act on common manufacturing issues, combining strengths and resources to become more globally competitive.

Our Value Proposition

We are a collaboration of Fab Owners who see our Fabs as the crown jewel in our companies competitive strategy. We believe operating our manufacturing facilities provides superior value to our customers.

“In this fiercely competitive industry, large 300mm fabs drive internal innovation, cost reduction, and efficiencies. To compete effectively, medium-sized 200mm fabs with diverse technologies must collaborate for mutual knowledge sharing. The FOA serves as a vital facilitator for such collaboration. Over the years, strong personal and professional relationships have formed among member fabs, including managers, engineers, facilities personnel, HR administrators, and supply chain professionals, leveraging connections to enhance collective knowledge. Additionally, equipment makers and solution providers contribute to this collaboration, elevating it with technical engagements and data sharing at quarterly forums. Whether small or large, regardless of semiconductor products, participants benefit from active involvement and collaboration.”
