Fairchild's history can be traced back to 1957, when, ShermanMillsFairchild, Fairchild's founders, organized a number of research scientists in California transistor fabrication of new technology, which has RobertNevce and GordonMoore, is now the founder of Intel Corporation. 1959 study successfully planar process manufacturing technology, since then, planar transistor fabrication technology as the basic method. Over the years, Fairchild always continuous technological innovation and win the world's attention from the industry-leading technologies such as FAST & 8432, advanced Schottky TTL logic families to today's ASSPEEPROM, ACEX, PowerTrench & 8432, MOSFET, LCX, and VHC technologies. Fairchild company is headquartered in Portland, Maine, USA, under the three business units: the South Portland logical groups, Sunnyvale, California, the separation of power and signal group, Utah WestJordan analog, mixed-signal and non-volatile memory device groups. Corporation in the United States and South Korea has four wafer fabrication plant in Cebu City, Philippines and Malaysia has assembled test facility. The adoption of world-class 4,5,6-inch wafer production process logic, analog, mixed-signal IC and discrete components. South Portland is the largest production base.
