Diodes 公司 (納斯達克股票代號：DIOD) 今天宣布 Diodes 公司已和安森美(onsemi)達成最終協議，收購安森美位於緬因州南波特蘭的晶圓製造設施和營運 (即「南波特蘭晶圓廠」)，但協議的條款並未被公布。
南波特蘭晶圓廠 (SPFAB) 為 Diodes 公司的類比產品提供了額外的 200mm 晶圓廠產能，可以增加 Diodes 公司在汽車產業和工業終端市場的成長動能。加上亞洲和歐洲既有的晶圓製造廠，座落於美國的這座工廠，可以進一步提升 Diodes 公司的全球生產運營。
Diodes 公司董事長、總裁兼執行長盧克修博士表示：「我們公司未來幾年的策略目標是大幅提高收入跟利潤，收購南波特蘭晶圓廠恰恰符合此目標。廠內團隊的卓越工程能力與技能，不但可以達到我們對技術和營運績效的預期，對 Diodes 大家庭更是如虎添翼。此外，SPFAB 加入後，還可以讓 Diodes 公司擴充產能並提升內部製造的靈活性，滿足客戶不斷增長的需求，在這種供應有限的環境下，更加增強 Diodes 公司的競爭優勢。我們對本次收購，以及收購對未來技術發展路徑圖的重要性，感到滿腔熱忱。」
南波特蘭晶圓廠交易的完成，必須符合慣例成交條件，預計將在 2022 年第二季完成。成交後，南波特蘭晶圓廠的運營和員工將會整合至 Diodes 公司旗下。
