Etron Technology
Etron Technology Inc., a globally recognized fabless IC design and product company, was founded by Dr. Nicky Lu in Hsinchu Science Park in February 1991. The company excels in developing buffer memory, logic chip designs, electronic applications, and system-on-chips. Etron was instrumental in launching Taiwan's National Sub-Micron Project and developed the nation's first sub-micron and VLSI process technology for eight-inch wafers, laying a robust groundwork for the DRAM and SRAM industries in Taiwan.
Leveraging Taiwan’s strategic geographic and economic position in the Asia Pacific, Etron actively pursues international business, facilitating connections across borders with partners in the US, Europe, Japan, and other Asian nations. These global engagements have cultivated important, stable, and long-term relationships for the company.
As semiconductors evolve towards artificial intelligence (AI), Etron is at the forefront, integrating technology with life and intelligence, thereby fostering a new economy rich with business opportunities. This shift has spurred technological innovation, application, and a sustainable ecosystem. Etron Tech Group implements its concept of "Multiple Pervasive IntelligenceN Application" through its IC products, equipping electronic devices with AI functionalities akin to human brains, eyes, and nerves while ensuring privacy.
Etron’s product innovations include Smart Memory, which functions similarly to brain memory, and its USB4.0 (Type-C) PD products, which act like the nervous system providing connectivity. Additionally, its 3D Eyes/XR/eCapture ICs serve as the eyes for machines, offering advanced vision computations. These technologies prioritize data analysis with robust personal information protection, enhancing privacy in the era of big data.
Etron Tech is a pioneer and leader in KGDM (Known Good Dice Memories), a technology for producing bare-die memory that can be mass-produced without packaging. This enables the creation of Stacked-Die System-Chips within a single package, achieving Multi-Dimensional Heterogeneous Integration—a significant breakthrough eagerly anticipated by memory researchers.
