MANAGEMENT BOARD ELMOS – THE COMPANY THE ELMOS SHARE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 110 INTERFACE Establishes the exchange of different systems and controls the connection, activity, and transfer of information between the system parts. JEDEC Joint Electron Devices Engineering Council is the stan- dardization panel for electronic package shapes. LAYOUT Describes the information gained from circuit development required for the manufacture of integrated circuits by use of simple geometric shapes. LCD Liquid Crystal Display is an energy saving display of information, e.g. used in a mobile phone. LED A Light Emitting Diode is a diode giving off light due to an electric current. LIN The LIN-BUS (Local Interconnect Network) is a com- munication network in vehicles. It particularly connects comfort applications with a bandwidth up to 20Kbit/s. LOGIC An accumulation of transistors and other circuit com- ponents describing Boole logic operations, e.g. AND, OR, NOT, IF, etc. MEMS Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems. MICROMETER One µm is one millionth of a meter. MICROPROCESSOR/MICROCONTROLLER An integrated complex electronic unit controlling and operating an electronic system. Microprocessors are the central brains of an electronic system such as a computer. MIXED-SIGNAL A combination of analog and digital signals simulta- neously generated, controlled, or modified on one and the same chip. MOS Metal Oxide Semiconductor describes the construc- tion of the central control device for the field effect in a special type of semiconductor transistor. MOST PROTOCOL The MOST protocol is a network standard for pro- ducts requiring a high data bandwidth. This standard connects infotainment and telematics applications in particular. OEM An Original Equipment Manufacturer is a manufacturer selling (partial) systems to a reseller. In the automobile industry, an OEM is an automobile manufacturer. PPM Parts Per Million (one in a million)
GROUP STATUS REPORT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS GROUP STRUCTURE GLOSSARY SEMICONDUCTOR A solid material (e.g. of silicon or germanium) which can change its electrical characteristics if physically modified. By well-directed doting of the material, usu- ally with boron or phosphor, the electronic characteristics are changeable. SENSOR An electronic unit measuring or recognizing a real physical quantity, e.g. motion, heat, or light, and subsequently converting it into an analog or digital electric signal. SILICON, SI The most common semiconductor material used for roughly 95 percent of all chips produced. SMART-POWER Symbolizes the intelligent use of higher voltage and currents in an electronic circuit. By the use of smart power voltage of several 100V and currents up to several 10A can be realized on a chip. SOI Silicon-On-Insulator is a special basic material for semiconductor manufacture showing a perfect verti- cal insulation by means of non-conducting interme- diate layers. SYSTEM ON CHIP Progress in semiconductor manufacturing technology and development methodology make it possible today to manufacture ASICs with several thousands of transistors. The idea described as system on chip is to integrate as many complex functions into a chip as possible. TPMS A Tire Pressure Monitoring System monitors the automobile’s tire pressure and alerts the driver if the pressure is too low. TRANSISTOR A transistor, or transfer resistor, is the basic compo- nent of semiconductor technology for the amplifica- tion or rather control of electronic signals. UMTS The Universal Mobile Telecommunications System allows the effortless exchange of photos, street maps, and movies between mobile devices. WAFER The basic material in chip manufacture. A wafer is a disc sawn out of a silicon crystal and polished, ap- proximately 0.3 to 1mm thick. Typical diameters are 150 (6“), 200 (8“), and 300 (12“) mm. elmos annual report 2004 111
