History
ST Assembly Test Services (STATS) was incorporated in Singapore on October 31, 1994 and began test operations in January 1995. STATS originally operated out of a 100000 square feet (9,290.3 m²) facility and offered wafer sort, assembly, and final test of advanced semiconductors. In October 1996, the company started construction of its 580000 sq ft (53,883.8 m²). Yishun, Singapore facility and quickly grew to become one of the world’s largest mixed signal test subcontractors supporting the digital and memory sectors within the telecommunications, networking and personal computer markets.In 2004, STATS merged with ChipPAC to form STATS ChipPAC, the fourth largest assembly and test subcontractor (OSAT) in the world. The company supports many major semiconductor customers with a global manufacturing footprint that spans China, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Taiwan, with close proximity to major wafer fabrication
