Product Portfolio
ST’s products are found everywhere today, and together with our customers, we are enabling smarter driving and smarter factories, cities and homes, along with the next generation of mobile and Internet of Things devices.
Smart Driving: safer, greener, more connected
It is estimated that 80% of all innovations in the automotive industry today are directly or indirectly enabled by electronics, which means a constant increase in the semiconductor content per car year after year. ST’s Smart Driving products and solutions are making driving safer, greener and more connected through the fusion of several of our technologies.
Driving is safer thanks to our Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) products – vision, radar, imaging, sensors and GNSS positioning technologies, as well as our Adaptive Lighting Systems and User Display Technologies. Driving is greener with our energy-management processors (EMU, ECU), Power Electronics at the heart of all automotive subsystems, Wide Band-Gap technologies (SiC and GaN) for electric cars, Sensors, and more. And vehicles are more connected using our car-to-car and car-to-infrastructure (V2X) connectivity solutions, infotainment system and telematics processors, Tuners, Amplifiers and Sensors.
The Internet of Things: solutions for smarter personal devices, homes, cities, and manufacturing
Due to the fragmented nature of the Internet of Things, the markets we serve span our entire customer base – from our largest customers to the tens of thousands of smaller and equally important customers who we serve through our distribution partners and mass-market initiatives.
Our daily lives as individuals benefit from the “Smart Things” we carry and use extensively. ST is a leading supplier of all the key technologies going into the next generations of personal consumer devices: Sensors, Microcontrollers for low and ultra-low power processing, Power and Analog components, and RF & Connectivity products. ST makes developing prototypes fast and affordable with a range of development ecosystems, including its STM32 Open Development Environment.
ST addresses the rise of the smart home and smart city systems through their core: energy consumption and management systems, or the future smart grids and their applications. Its solutions address the critical functions: from the combo chips inside the smart meters helping consumers and utilities track and balance the use and billing of electricity and water or gas to combo chips, to more intelligent street lighting able to sense its environment and dim or switch off to adjust to lighting conditions and municipal needs and sensors that can measure traffic flow and potentially re-route around obstructions.
ST provides a range of technologies enabling manufacturing and other industrial sectors to achieve better efficiency, flexibility, and safety through automation and robotics – this is what we call smart industry. The current shift, often labelled the “fourth industrial revolution” is making industrial systems smarter with the combined application of a broad range of products, including Microcontrollers, Sensors and Actuators, Motor Control, Signal Conditioning, Industrial Communication Solutions, Power Supplies, Protection Devices, Wireless Modules, and Display and LED Controllers.
Research & Development and Manufacturing
To keep its technology edge, ST has maintained an unwavering commitment to R&D since its creation. Almost one fifth of our people work in R&D and product design and in 2015 the Company spent about 21% of its revenue in R&D. Among the industry’s most innovative companies, ST owns and continuously refreshes a substantial patent library (~15,000 owned patents in ~9,000 patent families and 500 new patent filings).
The Company draws on a rich pool of chip fabrication technologies, including advanced FD-SOI (Fully Depleted Silicon-on-Insulator) CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor), Imaging technologies, RF-SOI (RF Silicon-On-Insulator), Bi-CMOS, BCD (Bipolar, CMOS, DMOS), and MEMS technologies.
ST believes in the benefits of owning manufacturing facilities and operating them in close proximity with its R&D operations. ST has a worldwide network of front-end (wafer fabrication) and back-end (assembly and test and packaging) plants. ST’s principal wafer fabs are located in Agrate Brianza and Catania (Italy), Crolles, Rousset, and Tours (France), and in Singapore. These are complemented by assembly-and-test facilities located in China, Malaysia, Malta, Morocco, the Philippines, and Singapore.
Sustainability
Sustainability has been a guiding principle for STMicroelectronics for more than 20 years and we have been a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) since 2000. As a full member of the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) we participate in the collective efforts of the industry to find solutions to our biggest sustainability challenges, such as conflict minerals, environmental protection, social issues, health and safety. Our values are set out in our Company’s Code of Conduct and our Sustainability Strategyensures that our programs are aligned with our business priorities and stakeholders' expectations. Today, sustainability is integrated throughout our entire business, allowing us to maximize opportunities in areas such as sustainable technology and innovation, as well as helping us to predict and mitigate risks in our operations and business performance.
Each year we publish a Sustainability Report, which gives a comprehensive view of our programs and performance to all our stakeholders.
