Fairchild Semiconductor

Fairchild Semiconductor is a leading global provider of semiconductor technology that powers the products we use and makes them more energy efficient. Fairchild continues to build on its rich history of innovation to address one of the greatest challenges we face today – reducing wasted energy and improving efficiency in an increasingly power-hungry world.

Fairchild is regarded as the “Father of Silicon Valley,” with a history of leading-edge innovation; this tradition continues today through the design and development of high performance, innovative and energy efficient products. Established in 1957, the goal of the original company was the development and production of silicon diffused transistors and other semiconductor devices. In 1958, Fairchild developed the planar transistor and with it a new industry was born. Today, Fairchild is a global leader delivering energy-efficient analog, discrete, signal path and optoelectronic solutions.

At Fairchild Semiconductor, we believe that taking an active part in health & safety and protecting the environment is our responsibility to our employees, our customers and the communities in which we operate. As part of this responsibility, we have developed and are managing excellent programs that reflect Fairchild's ongoing commitment.
As evidence to Fairchild's commitment to Environment, Health and Safety, an Environment, Health and Safety policy has been created. This policy is updated periodically to reflect our ever changing improvements in our programs. This policy is endorsed by Mark Thompson, the CEO of Fairchild Semiconductor.
ISO 14001 is an environmental management system certification. To achieve certification a company must demonstrate to an independent third party auditor that they have effectively implemented and maintain an environmental management system that meets or exceeds standards set by the ISO 14001 organization. As verification our registered sites have been awarded Certificates of Achievement. These may be viewed on our Environmental Management System Certificates web site.
