Quality/Reliability Certifications ANSI/ESD S.20.20 As an industry leader, Skyworks has demonstrated its quality leadership and strengthened its commitment to customer satisfaction through formal, third-party registration to ISO 9001, ISO/TS 16949 and ANSI/ESD S.20.20. ANSI/ESD S20.20 is a standard for the Development of an Electrostatic Discharge Control Program for Protection of Electrical and Electronic Parts, Assemblies and Equipment. The standard covers the requirements necessary to design, establish, implement, and maintain an Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Control Program. ISO/TS 16949 Cedar Rapids Woburn Newbury Park Irvine Mexicali ISO 9001:2000 ISO/TS 16949:2004 ANSI/ESD S.20.20 ISO 9001 One of the major challenges facing today’s manufacturers is that, even though there is a low failure probability for each individual component, the total failure probability for all parts combined may reach unacceptable levels. The ISO/TS 16949 standard answers this challenge by defining requirements focused on continual improvement, and the understanding of process interaction. It also creates an implementation framework for customer specific requirements, and includes clear requirements for development processes and techniques to prevent problems in the earliest possible stage of product development. Jointly developed by International Automotive Task Force (IATF), ISO/TS 16949 is the automotive industry’s international quality management system standard intended to answer the need for global consistency, continual improvement, and increased customer satisfaction. It is approved and released by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). ISO 9001 is an internationally recognized Quality Management System standard that promotes customer satisfaction through continual improvement of the system’s effectiveness. ISO 9001 provides a model for a Quality Management System which focuses on the effectiveness of the processes in a business to achieve desired results. The standard promotes the adoption of a process approach emphasizing the requirements, added value, process performance and effectiveness, and continual improvement through objective measurements.

Skyworks is committed to the never-ending quest for perfect quality. Our ultimate goals: No Field Failures l No Customer Returns l No Reliability Failures l No Yield Loss l ISO 14001:2004 As an industry leader, Skyworks is committed to the protection and preservation of the environment in all its business operations. We understand that our actions today can have environmental impacts tomorrow. Improvements at our facility will affect our customers and ultimately consumers. To this end, we have an established ISO 14001 certified Environment Management System by which we operate. We build products in consideration of regulatory and industry requirements, such as Restriction of Hazardous Substances Derivative (RoHS), and offer lead (Pb)-free, RoHs-compliant, and Green™ solutions to meet the needs of our customers in today’s environmentally-conscious market. 2 Six Sigma As we strive for continuous improvement, Skyworks has adopted the Six Sigma approach, a practical methodology that applies statistical tools and methods to aid in continuous process improvement. Quality Conformance Testing Quality conformance testing (also called lot acceptance testing), is testing performed on a sample of the lot to determine that the devices meet specified electrical and mechanical requirements. Qualification Test Qualification testing is used to determine that the manufacturer of a device can supply devices that meet the full electrical and environmental capability requirements of the customer’s specification. Skyworks qualification testing is conducted according to JEDEC standards. Ongoing Reliability Monitoring Program The reliability monitor program is administered and executed by the Quality Assurance Department. The intent of this program is to: • Provide an ongoing evaluation of our product reliability. • Maintain a pulse on the fabrication and assembly processes. • Samples are selected quarterly from representative qualified products from the production line that have passed functional electrical test. The product selection lists will include considerations for forecasted product volume and customer requests.

ESD Awareness Clothing Skyworks deploys state-of-the-art ESD controls from wafer fabrication through to assembly, test, and pack. In order to maintain device integrity, Skyworks has outlined critical ESD guidelines that should be followed as a minimum. Skyworks adheres to the requirements outlined in MIL-HDBK-263, MIL-STD-1686 and ESD Association 2.0 Handbook. GaAs products can be damaged at ESD voltages in the 250 V range. In this case, strict adherence to ESD Class 0 guidelines is recommended. An ESD-protective garment (smock, etc.) shall be used at the workstation. While a person may be grounded using a wrist strap or foot strap, that does not ensure that certain clothing fabrics can dissipate a charge to ground. The use of a conductive smock is required. Device Handling Remove ESD-sensitive devices from protective containers at approved ESD work stations only. ESD wrist straps are required when handling devices outside their ESD-protective packaging. All personnel shall be properly grounded (footstraps/wrist straps) prior to opening static shielding bags. ESD-sensitive devices should always be handled by the part body. Avoid touching the leads. When hand tools are required to accomplish an operation, use only tools that are dissipative, conductive, or treated with topical antistat. ESD Workstation Your ESD-safe work area should follow the requirements outlined in MIL-HDBK-263 and ESD Association Handbook 2.0. The following requirements are strongly recommended: Personnel The use of constant wrist strap monitors is highly recommended. This monitor guarantees that the connection to ground is continuously made. An alarm will sound when that connection is broken. 4 Floors Conductive or dissipative ESD flooring shall be utilized whenever possible. This flooring shall be checked for ESD properties on a regular basis. Work Surfaces Your ESD work surface shall be covered with soft dissipative material. This surface shall be tied to earth ground and shall be configured in a common point ground. In addition, the work surface shall be free of any static generating material, such as nonessential plastics, or cellophane tape. Equipment All equipment used to process ESD-sensitive devices shall be checked for the generation of static charging. Whether soldering irons, wave solder machines, device insertion machines or test equipment, the generation of static electricity is of concern. ESD Component Classifications ESD-sensitive components are classified according to their ESD withstand voltage using the test procedure described in this standard. The HBM ESDS components classification levels are shown below.
