Who We Are
STMicroelectronics was created in 1987 by the merger of two long-established semiconductor companies, SGS Microelettronica of Italy and Thomson Semiconducteurs of France, and has been publicly traded since 1994; its shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: STM), on Euronext Paris, and on Borsa Italiana.
 
The group has approximately 50,000 employees (2), 12 main manufacturing sites, advanced research and development centers in 10 countries, and sales offices all around the world.
 
Corporate Headquarters, as well as the headquarters for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, (EMEA) are in Geneva. The Company’s Americas Headquarters are in Coppell (Texas); those for Greater China and South Asia are based in Shanghai; and Japanese and Korean operations are headquartered in Tokyo.

Research & Development
Since its creation, ST has maintained an unwavering commitment to R&D. Almost one quarter of its employees work in R&D and product design and in 2011 the Company spent about 24% of its revenue in R&D (3). Among the industry’s most innovative companies, ST owns over 21,500 patents and pending patent applications (3) . The Company draws on a rich pool of chip fabrication technologies, including advanced FD-SOI (Fully Depleted Silicon-on-Insulator) CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor), mixed-signal, analog and power processes, and is a partner in the International Semiconductor Development Alliance (ISDA) for the development of next-generation CMOS technologies.
 
Manufacturing
To provide its customers with an independent, secure and cost-effective manufacturing machine, ST operates a worldwide network of front-end (wafer fabrication) and back-end (assembly and test and packaging) plants. ST’s principal wafer fabs are presently located in Agrate Brianza and Catania (Italy), Crolles, Rousset and Tours (France), and in Singapore. The wafer fabs are complemented by world-class assembly-and-test facilities located in China, Malaysia, Malta, Morocco, the Philippines and Singapore.
 
Alliances
From its inception, ST established a strong culture of partnership and through the years has created a worldwide network of strategic alliances with key customers, suppliers, competitors, and leading universities and research institutes around the world.
As an example, ST has joined forces with Sharp and Enel in a unique joint-venture company that encompasses technological, manufacturing and marketing aspects of the solar industry. In addition, ST plays a key role in Europe’s advanced technology research programs.
