NXP takes part with three competence groups: ITEC, CSC-Innovation and Back-end Innovation.
NXP-ITEC stands for Industrial Technology and Engineering Center. It was founded in 1991 as a successor of the BM (Bedrijfsmechanisatie). Its primary focus is to generate cost effective assembly equipment for mass production of low-pincount semiconductors. Manufacturing of NXP-ITEC equipment is fully subcontracted. ITEC invented the BIM (Breakthrough in Manufacturing) concept: a high volume flowline for assembly of low pincount semiconductors.
CSC-Innovation stands for “Competence Support Center-Innovation”, which is located in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. The aim of this group is to support the Business Lines with the development of innovative solutions for low-pincount packages, platform-concepts, processes and technologies.
