Dedicated logic fab; dedicated foundry team

SAMSUNG is thoroughly committed to its foundry business, having built a dedicated 300mm logic fab for this purpose in Giheung, South Korea. This S-1 line is staffed by a dedicated foundry team in order to minimize conflicts of interest and reassure customers of the security and priority of their projects. The foundry team includes service and support personnel, engineering and account management, with secure access to a wealth of IP, design support and other services.

Customer IP protection

The secure handling of information is a fundamental focus of the SAMSUNG foundry. Customer trust and satisfaction are assured through IP protection policies that have received ISO17799/BS7799 certification. Compliance with these protocols is strictly enforced. Elements like confidential document control, employee confidentiality, training programs, audit compliance and IT security are part of the foundry's security commitment.

Independent, secure IT

Multiple secure systems are in place to protect sensitive data, highlighted by an independent foundry LAN with a two-tier firewall in place. Advanced encryption and strict internal policies regarding information distribution and handling are mandatory. Also practiced are regular security audits, periodic unscheduled audits and checks for security weak points. The foundry's stringent security procedures make sure customer IP and product information are fully protected at all times.
