Acquisition aims to accelerate development of X‑FAB’s discrete business
X-FAB Silicon Foundries SE is to acquire M-MOS Semiconductor Hong Kong Limited, a fabless company focused on the development of MOSFET technologies.
M-MOS specialises in the development of MOSFET technologies and the design of custom MOSFET devices. The MOSFET wafers that M-MOS sells mainly into the industrial, consumer, and automotive markets are manufactured by X-FAB. In 2022, M-MOS recorded revenues of $32.0 million.
Rudi De Winter, CEO of X-FAB group, said: “X-FAB started its discrete devices business more than 20 years ago in Erfurt, Germany, followed by trench MOSFETs we have been producing for M-MOS at our Malaysian site in Kuching. Since then, more and more discrete business has been developed, such as the SiC technology at X-FAB Texas and GaN at X-FAB Dresden. I am convinced that the process and product design know-how but also the market know-how of M-MOS will help to accelerate X‑FAB’s discrete business development going forward.”
