STMicroelectronics is an international semiconductor manufacturer headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. The history of STMicroelectronics can be traced back to SGS in 1957. In June 2000, it was established by SGS in Italy and Thomson in France. The company‘s semiconductor division, Thomson, merged two semiconductor companies to form what is now STMicroelectronics. On May 22, 2007, ST and Intel jointly established Numonyx, a new company that merged the respective flash memory divisions of ST and Intel. STMicroelectronics is the largest semiconductor supplier in Europe, ahead of Infineon and NXP Semiconductors. ST STMicroelectronics clearly pointed out that ST‘s product strategy focuses on sensor and power chips, automotive chips and embedded processing solutions.

STMicroelectronics areas of strength:

1. Long-term commitment to technology development and innovation

For more than 25 years, technological innovation has been the strategic core of STMicroelectronics. With a large number of patents and a strong innovation path, STMicroelectronics is one of the few semiconductor companies that master a variety of different technologies. ST‘s The goal is to transform advanced technologies into advanced commercial products that directly create value for our users.

2. MCUs for various applications

From entry-level compact and easy-to-use 8-bit MCU based on STM8 core to ultra-high-performance 32-bit MCU product series based on ARM Cortex-M series, ST dealers can meet different application needs of users and minimize customer platform migration/ Market customization costs, optimizing core applications.

3. Leading the development of the MEMS market

By the beginning of 2015, ST dealers had sold more than 4 billion MEMS sensors, leading the development of the consumer and mobile MEMS market, STMicroelectronics has a unique sensor product portfolio, from discrete to integrated solutions, meet various design requirements.

4. Advanced semiconductor technology

ST‘s advanced semiconductor technology reduces the PCB space required for chips. STMicroelectronics integrates functions normally achieved with discrete components in a single package, enabling the flexibility to expand the number of functions or shrink the device size in the end product.
