IMMEDIATE RELEASE...
THAT Corp. and Twilight
Technology Form New Alliance
Milford, MA and Brea, CA - December 3, 2007 - THAT
Corporation and Twilight Technology announced a new licensing
agreement which authorizes Twilight to utilize THAT's portfolio of
high-performance, analog integrated circuit (wafer) dice. Twilight
will repackage THAT's die to produce ruggidized plastic and
high-reliability hermetic components for the medical, aerospace,
defense, and heavy industrial marketplaces.
"Since the founding of THAT Corporation nearly eighteen years
ago, our primary target customer has typically been the professional
audio equipment manufacturer", explained THAT's President, Les
Tyler. "With Twilight's assistance, we hope to be able to break
into new markets, and are looking forward to forming a solid
foundation from which both companies can grow."
Randy Greene, Twilight Technology's President and CEO added,
"Twilight is pleased that THAT Corporation has partnered with us
in this business endeavor. It's a relationship that we believe will be
a success for both companies."
Jack Forthun, Twilight's Vice-President of Engineering noted,
"We were impressed with THAT Corporation's product performance
capabilities over extreme operation temperature range applications.
THAT manufactures its products using a "dielectric
isolation" fabrication process which provides better isolation
between individual transistors and faster speeds."
Twilight Technology's first product introduction will be a family
of isolated, low noise, quad-matched transistor arrays which is
expected to be available in late 2007. Twilight will initially focus
on THAT's 300 Series Transistor Array die,
which are high-speed / low noise with first-rate parameter matching
between transistors.
