19. DESCRIPTION (FOR NEW PRODUCTS, PROVIDE AVAILABILITY DATE AND LEAD TIME)
The following correspondence is written notification of a supply chain change as a result of a recent business acquisition. Tianshui
Huatian Technology Company Ltd (TSHT) announced the completion of the acquisition of FlipChip International LLC (FCI) on
April 30th, 2015. Located in Tianshui, China TSHT is the second largest Chinese provider of IC Testing and Packaging for
semiconductor IC and components, and trades on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange under the symbol TSHT. Please find a copy of the
announcement for TSHT on page 2.
FlipChip International LLC, located in Phoenix, AZ, provides wafer bumping services, as a subcontractor, to Aeroflex Colorado
Springs (dba, Cobham Semiconductor Solutions (Cobham)). Wafer bumping is integral to flip chip packaging. Flip chip technology
is used in Cobham’s advanced digital, power, and serial communication products to deliver the high performance interconnect
demanded by these solutions.
Cobham sends passivated wafers to FCI for bumping; FCI returns completed wafers and reject wafers to Cobham for post-bump
electrical probe testing prior to packaging. After the completion of packaging, Cobham performs additional electrical testing prior to
product shipment. FCI is bumping EAR controlled wafers for Cobham (i.e., non-ITAR, non-Classified, non-Trusted wafers). Other
than wafers and wafer level X-Y coordinates for I/O positions, Cobham does not share any confidential or controlled information
with our wafer bumping subcontractors, FCI or otherwise. For the bumping of ITAR, Classified, and Trusted wafers, Cobhman is
assessing second sources that can handle controlled wafers and technical information.
Please contact me via telephone (719)594-8085 or e-mail [email protected] if you have any questions or concerns.
