TEMIC Semiconductors achieves QML status

Auditors from the Defense Electronic Supply Center Columbus (DSCC) in Columbus, Ohio, have added the Temic Semiconductors MHS site in Nantes, France, to the Qualified Manufacturing List (QML) class Q for military ruggedness and class V for space ruggedness. DSCC auditors also qualified the Temic laboratories for mechanical testing of products. This is the first time a complete facility including wafer fabrication has been QML qualified outside the United States, say Temic officials. Temic products covered under QML include memories, microcontrollers, and application-specific integrated circuits in geometries as small as 0.5 microns.
