 ASE Group is composed of ASE Korea Inc., an industry-leading semiconductor packaging service provider, ASE Test Limited, the world's largest independent semiconductor testing service provider, ASE Materials, a raw material supplier for packaging and Universal Scientific Industrial, or USI, an on-demand electronic manufacturing services (or EMS) provider.
ASE Inc. has been positioned as the world's second-largest semiconductor assembler through its continued growth since it was listed on Taiwan stock exchange (TWSE : 2311 / NYSE : ASX) in 1989. ASE Test Ltd., listed on Nasdaq (NASDAQ: ASTSF) in 1996, has also established itself as the world's best IC testing service provider.
ASE Group has been expanding its market share and its business area, largely through phased M&A initiatives based on state-of-the-art R&D and manufacturing technologies and a viable financial structure. The global group has 9 branches worldwide with approximately 20,000 employees in East Asia, including Taiwan, Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia, as well as in the US and Europe. Its customer service and capable sales offices worldwide dominate over competitors in the international semiconductor market. The strategic alliance with TSMC allows ASE to provide a wide range of advanced IC packaging and testing services to about 200 global semiconductor manufacturers around the world.
Continuing to sharpen its excellence in high-quality IC packaging and testing services, ASE Group envisions becoming a favored manufacturer of electronic products by leveraging the EMS expertise of USI, a member of ASE Group.

_ Packaging and Assembly Capabilities
 An independent IC packager placing first or second in the world
Acquiring the world's largest amount of wire bonders -2,000 units- used for
technology that is currently in highest demand
A leader in fine pitch wire bonding technologies
First in the industry to introduce 12-inch wafer bumping
Mass production of flip-chip packages
_ Testing
| In order to ensure the quality of finished semiconductors, their performance should be assessed through rigorous tests. Testing processes require robust testing equipment and customized software programs to electronically examine products' functions, durability, power consumption, etc.
ASE provides total semiconductor testing services including front-end engineering testing, wafer probing and final testing for logic, mixed signals and memory components. |
_ Testing Capabilities
World's largest independent company with over 1000 test equipment units
_ Materials
| ASE is pressing ahead with developing technologies for substrates and lead frame fabrication processes. Such key areas as build-up and semi-additive processes for flip-chip package substrate are presently under development.
In an attempt to be able to provide design and manufacturing services, ASE acquired Universal Scientific Industrial, one of the world's best EMS service providers, in 1999, allowing it to produce both modules and systems. |
