What is Semiconductor Manufacturing?

Rochester Electronics is a semiconductor manufacturer. We specialize in continuing the manufacture of EOL and mature semiconductors. We are a reliable, trustworthy extension of the manufacturing process that takes place during the height of a semiconductor's production cycle. Because we manufacture a component to the exact specs of the original, there is no doubt as to whether it will work in an existing system. A semiconductor that has been put into production within the Rochester family of products never goes EOL.

Most importantly, all Rochester manufacturing is done with complete authorization and support from the original manufacturer, which means you can be assured of parts that are identical in every way to the original - and that's a 100% guarantee!

By engaging with Rochester, you will be joining a growing number of companies who have proven to themselves that a Rochester solution can be the most cost-effective, time-saving, and reliable solution.

Four comprehensive levels of Rochester Electronics manufacturing capability guarantee that we have the solution for all your end-of-life situations:

• Rochester purchases die and wafer from the original manufacturer and continues the manufacture of parts in any package or lead finish required.
• When a supply of wafer and die is exhausted, Rochester manufactures wafer and die using the existing tooling supplied by the original manufacturer, then continues to manufacture parts as required.
• When a supply of wafer and die is exhausted, and the tooling is not available from the original manufacturer, Rochester re-creates the tooling from existing intellectual property provided by the original manufacturer. Rochester then manufactures wafer and die, and continues to manufacture parts as required.
• When other options are not available, Rochester can re-create a semiconductor using various combinations of intellectual property from the original manufacturer. Even if no IP is available, Rochester can re-create most parts from the last working sample. With totally re-created intellectual property, Rochester re-creates the tooling and then continues to manufacture a never-ending supply of components.
