TOWER SEMICONDUCT (NASDAQ:TSEM) - Tower Semiconductor Ltd., incorporated in 1993, is a pure-play independent wafer foundry dedicated to the manufacture of semiconductors, and embedded non-volatile memory, complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor, mixed signal and radio frequency CMOS (RFCMOS) technologies. Pure-play foundries do not offer products of their own, but focus on producing integrated circuits (ICs) based on the design specifications of their customers. The Company manufactures semiconductors using advanced production processes for customers primarily based on third-party designs and its own. It manufactures ICs with geometries ranging from 1.0 to 0.13-micron, while 0.13-micron is expected to be ready for production during 2005. It also provides complementary technical services and design support. ICs manufactured by the Company are incorporated into a range of products in diverse markets, including consumer electronics, personal computers, communications, automotive, industrial and medical device products.
CMOS Image Sensors
CMOS image sensors are ICs used to capture an image in a variety of consumer, communications, medical, automotive and industrial market applications, including camera-equipped cell phones, digital still and video cameras, security and surveillance cameras, and video game consoles. The Company is involved in this mass market, as well as the high-end sensor and applications specific markets, which include applications, such as industrial machine vision, medical equipment and automotive sensors. In the CMOS image sensor foundry business, the Company's services include a range of turnkey solutions and services, including sensor design services, optical characterization of a CMOS process, stitching manufacturing technique and optical testing and packaging.
Embedded Flash
In 1997, Tower Semiconductor Ltd. entered into a strategic investment and technology agreement with Saifun Semiconductor Ltd. (Saifun), pursuant to which the Company owns approximately a 10% equity stake in Saifun. Together, the Company brought to market a new non-volatile memory technology, NROM. NROM technology enables the implementation of ultra high-density flash arrays using 0.5-micron CMOS process, and is particularly suitable for embedding flash arrays with standard CMOS logic, as well as for commodity memories. The Company has continued to strengthen its specialized technology service offering in the embedded flash market, by partnering with Matsushita for joint development of 0.18-micron embedded microFLASH technology. Its microFLASH technology, based on Saifun's NROM technology, provides greater memory cell density for given design rule generation, permitting an approximately four-fold reduction in the size of the memory cell for stand-alone memories and embedded applications in a given geometry.
In December 2004, the Company sold its entire equity stake in Saifun. However, this sale had no effect on the Company's technology rights under its agreement with Saifun.
Mixed Signal and RF CMOS
Tower Semiconductor Ltd. focuses on providing mixed-signal capabilities, as this technology is a cornerstone to both CMOS image sensor and embedded flash applications. In 1998, Motorola transferred its 0.6- and 0.8-micron analog and mixed-signal processes to the Company's Fab 1 facility. In May 2003, it licensed an array of intellectual property from Chipidea for its Fab 2. The Company's customers can use Chipidea's Internet protocol (IP) portfolio with its advanced technology for a solution that meets their analog and mixed-signal design needs. In February 2004, the Company launched production of a Coder-Decoder (CODEC) IC for Smart Link, Ltd. utilizing 0.18-micron, mixed-signal technology provided by Chipidea in its Fab 2 facility.
Tower Semiconductor Ltd. competes with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation, United Microelectronics, Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing; Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp., DongBuAnam, He Jien Technology, ASMC, Hynix, Powerchip Semiconductor, 1st Silicon, Grace, HHNEC

About SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM
WWW.SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM is a service designed to help bonafide shareholders of publicly traded US companies fight short selling. SqueezeTrigger.com has built a proprietary database that uses Threshold list feeds and short sale time and sale data from NASDAQ, AMEX and NYSE to generate detailed and useful information to combat the short selling problem. For the first time, actual trade by trade data is available to the public that shows the attempted size, actual size, price and average value of short sales in stocks that have been shorted. This information is valuable in determining the precise point at which short sellers go out-of-the-money and start losing on their short trades.
SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM has built a massive database that collects, analyzes and publishes a proprietary SqueezeTrigger for each stock that has been shorted. The SqueezeTrigger database of nearly 2.5 billion short sale transactions goes back to January 1, 2005 and calculates the exact price at which the Total Short Interest is short in each stock. This data was never before available prior to January 1, 2005 because the Self Regulatory Organizations (primary exchanges) guarded it aggressively. After the SEC passed Regulation SHO, exchanges were forced to allow data processors like SqueezeTrigger.com to access the data.
The SqueezeTrigger database collects individual short trade data on over 7,000 NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ stocks and general short trade data on nearly 8,000 OTCBB and PINKSHEET stocks. Each month the database grows by approximately 50,000,000 short sale transactions and provides investors with the knowledge necessary to time when to buy and sell stocks with outstanding short positions. By tracking the size and price of each montha'a"s short transactions, SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM provides institutions, traders, analysts, journalists and individual investors the exact price point where short sellers start losing money and a short squeeze can begin.
