What does STMicroelectronics do?
We are a global independent semiconductor company that designs, develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of products, including discrete and general purpose components, application specific integrated circuits (“ASICs”), full custom devices and semi-custom devices and application-specific standard products (“ASSPs”) for analog, digital and mixed-signal applications.
Our diverse product portfolio benefits from a unique, strong foundation of proprietary and differentiated leading-edge technologies. We use all of the prevalent function-oriented process technologies, including complementary metal-on silicon oxide semiconductors (“CMOS”), bipolar and non-volatile memory technologies. In addition, by combining basic processes, we have developed advanced systems-oriented technologies that enable us to produce differentiated and application-specific products, including our pioneering fully depleted silicon-on-insulator (“FD-SOI”) technology offering superior performance and power efficiency compared to bulk CMOS, bipolar CMOS technologies (“Bi-CMOS”) and radio frequency silicon-on-insulator (“RF-SOI”) for mixed-signal and high-frequency applications, as well as a combination of Bipolar, CMOS and DMOS (“BCD”) and vertically integrated power (“VIPower”) technologies for smart power applications, silicon carbide (“SiC”) and gallium nitride (“GaN”) for high-efficiency systems, Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (“MEMS”) technologies for sensors and actuators, embedded memory technologies for our microcontrollers and differentiated optical sensing technologies for our optical sensing solutions.
What are the key strategic markets that STMicroelectronics focuses on?
Our strategy stems from key long-term enablers and addresses four end-markets. Please visit STMicroelectronics’ Strategy page.

What year was STMicroelectronics founded?
STMicroelectronics N.V. was formed and incorporated in 1987 as a result of the combination of the semiconductor business of SGS Microelettronica (then owned by Società Finanziaria Telefonica (S.T.E.T.), an Italian corporation) and the non-military business of Thomson Semiconducteurs (then owned by the former Thomson-CSF, now Thales, a French corporation). We operated as SGS-Thomson Microelectronics N.V. until May 1998, when we changed our name to STMicroelectronics N.V.
When did STMicroelectronics go public?
We completed our initial public offering in December 1994 with simultaneous listings on the Bourse de Paris (now known as “Euronext Paris”) and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). In 1998, we also listed our shares on the Borsa Italiana S.p.A. (“Borsa Italiana”).
Where is STMicroelectronics’ headquarters located?
We are organized under the laws of The Netherlands, with our corporate legal seat in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and our head offices at WTC Schiphol Airport. Our headquarters and operational offices are managed through our wholly owned subsidiary, STMicroelectronics International N.V., and are located at Chemin du Champ-des-Filles 39, 1228 Plan-les-Ouates, Switzerland.
What recent acquisitions has STMicroelectronics made?
In 2020, the Company closed the acquisition of French Gallium Nitride (GaN) innovator Exagan. Exagan’s expertise in epitaxy, product development and application know-how will broaden and accelerate ST’s power GaN roadmap and business for automotive, industrial and consumer applications. We also significantly strengthened our STM32 Wireless MCU portfolio, acquiring three companies in the Wireless IoT space, namely (i) Riot Micro for their advanced low-power Cellular IoT Modem and RF Front-End; (ii) BeSpoon for their low-power industrial UWB Modem and RF Front-End; and (iii) SOMOS Semiconductor for their Cellular IoT RF Front-End-Module expertise. We expect these acquisitions to uniquely position us to offer a complete wireless MCU portfolio for many IoT and industrial applications.
In 2019 we acquired Norstel A.B, headquartered in Norrkoping, Sweden. STMicroelectronics Silicon Carbide A.B. (formerly Norstel A.B.) develops and manufactures advanced 150 mm SiC bare and epitaxial wafers. Thanks to this acquisition, ST will control the entire supply chain for a portion of its SiC devices at a time of constrained global capacity and positions itself for a significant growth opportunity.
