STMicroelectronics
The Company
STMicroelectronics was created in 1987 by the merger of SGS Microelettronica of Italy and Thomson
Semiconducteurs of France with the aim of becoming a world leader in the sub-micron era. The new
company pursued an aggressive growth strategy, investing heavily in R&D, forging strategic alliances
with blue-chip customers and academia, building up an integrated presence in major economic
regions, and honing one of the world’s most efficient manufacturing operations.
Since its formation, STM has grown faster than the semiconductor industry as a whole and it has been
one of the world’s Top Ten semiconductor suppliers since 1999. Today, an unrivalled combination of
silicon and system expertise, manufacturing strength, Intellectual Property (IP) portfolio, industrial
and academic partnerships, and one of the industry’s broadest product ranges makes STM a world
leader in developing and delivering semiconductor solutions across the spectrum of microelectronics
applications.
