Siliconfile Bits of Info

Solid State Technology puts a few bits of information about Korean Siliconfile. It's a rare appearence, as Siliconfile usually keeps low profile in press, despite quite impressive market success on Far East.

"Based in South Korea, it has specialized in the development and marketing of CMOS image sensors since its founding in 2002. As the first Korean fabless company to export CIS devices to Japan in 2004, SiliconFile reports that its CIS devices have been designed into more than 70 handset models manufactured in Japan and in the Asia-Pacific region.

SiliconFile cites strategic relationships it developed with Samsung and Dongbu, both located in South Korea, as essential ingredients to establishing a foundation for success. With all parties in close proximity and sharing the same business culture, SiliconFile believes it achieved an economic efficiency that is difficult to quantify with numbers."
