TI Clark TI Clark – Propelling Analog Growth - Erwin Estepa Over the last two quarters, semiconductor growth has been slowing down due to World wide economic downturn. TI was not spared during this latest downturn cycle as most of our business, especially wireless dropped as customer demand dwindled due to lesser consumer spending/buying. If the trend continues, many small companies and some of our biggest competitor are at risk of shutting down. In any cycle, there will be an upturn. TI, with the correct plan and strategy, will be well positioned to support the next technology with the correct and broad product portfolio. And one of TI’s strength is Analog business. The total available market (TAM) for Analog is about $36 billion. From 2002 to 2007, TI’s analog revenue doubled from $2.4 billion to $4.8 billion. By 2011, it is projected to double its revenue, reaching up to $10 billion. But there’s still a lot of opportunity to extend our business and that is possible because only TI offers a portfolio that includes every component required to run a system, thus, offering a system solution rather than just selling piece parts. One of the biggest market is power management. TI Analog business offers thousands of products that enables us to address any design issues that customer may have. This is where TI Clark plays a very important role, to SUPPORT ANALOG GROWTH and to prepare for the next upturn cycle. With the current economic condition, many questioned why TI invested a new facility in the Philippines. It is because the facility situated in Clark, Pampanga will invest around $1 Billion dollars in the next 10 years and will employ around 3000 people at full build. The ground breaking ceremony happened last Aug 16, 2007, with production expected to start in April 2009. This is less than 2 years considering a production floor area of 830 thousand square feet almost same size or bigger than TI Baguio that was built in a number of years (~30 years). The TI Clark facility is designed with new features. • First Bump Process owned by TI outside US • First facility that has full turnkey process from Wafer Bump, Probe and Back-end process • Use Seismic Isolation System • Designed for LEED (Leadership in Environment Engineering Design) TI Clark just completed the first major milestone, passing our first package qualification on 0.5mm RDL (ReDistribution Layer) package, meeting target timeline and did it 1st time. The official qualification memo has been released Feb 28, 2009. This is a date to remember in the history of TI Clark. This is a celebration not only for TI Clark but for TI Philippines. This demonstrated our people’s commitment, capability and proves that TI made the right decision of putting up the facility in the Philippines. This is just the first hurdle, several more WCSP
(Wafer Chip Scale Package) are lined up for TI Clark. Below is our
packaging roadmap. • RDL = Redistributed Layer • BOP = Ball/Bump on Pad • B OP COA = B all/B ump on Pad , Copper On Anything Above are the standard WCSP package with unique features and process step. One thing to remember as we ramp to production and introduce new packages is cost. Other than building a reliable package, our cost must be competitive, lower than our competitors. This should translates to better yield, lower raw material cost, better/simpler process. Given this challenge, it becomes more exciting for our team to be creative and innovative to reduce our material/process cost. And we will do it with TI Philippines team
– Baguio and
Clark teaming up.

lived by this principle…"Perseverance is the key to success. Nothing comes served in a silver platter, and so, one has to work her dreams to reality…" 25 years ago, Elizabeth Flores, more popularly known as "Abet", started working in TI as a Production Specialist. She accepted this job despite having an Engineering license and diploma, mainly for economic reasons and for the vision of great opportunities… She was right! She has always been proud to be working with Texas Instruments, which she considers a great company to work for. She works with more enthusiasm being a part of the WINNING Team of TI Philippines. From Production Specialists, she was then promoted to several positions as QRA Engineer, QRA Section Head, NPD Proce ss and Mate rials De v e lop me nt Manag e r, Proce ss Engineering Manager, and now as QRA director. She is thankful to have encountered great mentors and friends that continue to mold her for leadership and excellence. Part of her success is attributed to her inclination to technology and People Development that earned her the Member, Group technical Staff (MGTS) title in 1995, and promotion to Senior Member Technical Staff (SMTS) in 2006. She is inspired by the Lord's faithfulness as she acknowledges that He is the source of strength and wisdom that allows her to perform her job with enthusiasm. Abet and Jojo are blessed with 3 girls - Kathy, Karen and Kaye and 2 tots - Danica and Dustine.

Extraordinary Activities
TIPI Riders Toy Run
Sharing the Blessings: A Joint Effort of the Product Engineering Group and Texins Running and Fitness Club - Kate Advincula, Jong Ignacio -
“Life in abundance comes only through great love.” . . . This, I believe, is the inspirational motive of the TIPIers who shared the ir b le ssing s last December 13, 2008 with the less fortunate families residing at Purok 20, San Carlos He ig hts, Irisan Barangay, Baguio City. Fifty families who were pre-registered came with their kids and experienced this joyful activity of sharing. The Product Engineering Team and the Texins Running and Fitness Club organized and extended an outreach program to share their blessings in time, talent and treasure. With their big hearts, they voluntarily contributed to share funds to purchase some grocery items, great snacks, candies & goodies. They also shared some old toys and some used clothes and bags. Some members of the Texins Fitness Club and Product Engineers, together with their families, experienced that great moment of sharing as they distributed the gifts and snacks to the children and to the adults. You can see the joy as they received their bags of groceries with rice, bags of snacks and some clothing & bags, too. The kids had a wonderful time during the games. The TIPIers and their families enjoyed the gift giving of the prizes to the winners. This outreach program, in coordination with the brothers and sisters of the Familia Catholic Community of Baguio City, was such a joyful event that the Product Engineering Team turn to page 5
- Allan Lacsina “Building Paths Toward Better Community”. This was the noble theme of the TIPI Riders Club as they launched their first community project entitled “Toy Run” last December 14, 2008 at DSWD Lingap Center Wangal, La Trinidad, Benguet. The activity was led by the Club President, Jones Babaran, and guided by Club Adviser, Kaye Calixterio and George De Leon from HR Department. In preparation for the activity, the club solicited for old clothes, toys, books and other donations from TIPI employees by putting boxes at the building entrances. The club took this moment to share the essence of the Christmas Season with the children by spending b ountif ul snack s and quality time with them. We are also fortunate to meet other organizations/clubs (McDonalds Baguio and SLU Sp ecial Ed ucation Volunteers) who found time to share the ir b le ssing s in te rms of foods, learning activities, and games that painted a smile on the children’s faces. If one would ask me what I got from this, it would be awareness and the chang e in perception of life. It is not how big or how small the idea is, but how much of what y our he art is cap ab le to e nd ure to make the idea a reality.

More than Love Author: Rei Guce
Every night I look out of the window Longing that someone could wipe off my sorrow Day light breaks and still I wonder When will this heart stop to ponder? Magical voice I heard from a distance And suddenly I experienced, I’m in a trance Amorous embrace I sensed entwined me And my heart leapt with so much glee Reminiscing the past, where all hopes has gone out Now I feel renewed and ready to take flight Vanquish all my fears, mend the wounds once more

Help me stretch my wings, and together we’ll soar Ineffable joy surrounds my whole being And makes me want to stop dreaming Never would I be in this blissful journey Nor have I felt so much free from worry Calm the turmoil of this uncertain heart Amidst all the questions you showed no doubt Leave me not with just a reverie And allow me to keep this love to carry Remember my heart is yours alone And truly am I grateful that you come along… 15
