May 22, 2007 — SVTC Technologies, which recently became an independent development foundry, has introduced a full suite of commercialization services, called FastXfer services. Simultaneously the company is announcing its name change, from Silicon Valley Technology Center to SVTC Technologies.

SVTC’s FastXfer Commercialization Services include equipment stability and baseline process stability, process book creation and management, gap analysis and commonality review, test vehicles, process qualifications and yield improvement. The services promise an easier transfer to the foundry and provide much-needed assistance when interfacing with a foundry, the company says.

Designed to provide its customers with a rapid transfer to volume manufacturing, FastXfer will complement SVTC’s other services: access to a full-scale, 8-inch development foundry with a full complement of advanced CMOS equipment, plus development tools and expertise for developers serving the novel memory and transistor, MEMS/MOEMS, photovoltaic, bio-tech and hi-voltage markets.
