Endicott Interconnect Technologies has received Trusted Accreditation by the Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMEA) as a trusted source to the Department of Defense and all other U.S. government agencies. EI, a world class supplier of engineered electronic interconnect solutions for mission critical and high performance applications, has been awarded Category 1A trusted foundry accreditation for integrated circuits for packaging/assembly services at its Endicott, N.Y. facility.
DMEA was established and continuously evolved by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) to jointly act as the DOD Center for microelectronics technology, acquisition, transformation, and support. DMEA is composed of highly specialized engineering facilities and microelectronics engineers working in close partnership with the semiconductor industry and major defense contractors such as EI to provide support for fielded systems across all U.S. military organizations.
Trusted supplier status is awarded to those U.S. companies designing, generating, manufacturing and distributing components that are highly critical to national security.
The change in industry demographics that has shifted microelectronic packaging expertise and manufacturing offshore has led to a reduction in worldwide research and development in advanced packaging and to a lack of new product and process capability within the U.S. As a result, the U.S. Department of Defense and the intelligence community is in need of American companies, positioned ahead of potential adversaries, to provide leading edge technologies and manufacturing capabilities to support the development of high technology products and provide access to emerging technologies.
