Birth from a Tech Giant to an Industry Leader

ON Semiconductor, known in Chinese as Onsemi, was born on July 4, 1999, as a spin-off from Motorola's standard semiconductor products division. With a strong foundation in technology and market understanding, the company quickly made its mark in the semiconductor industry. Headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, ON Semiconductor has grown into a global powerhouse with a market value exceeding $30 billion, employing approximately 30,000 people worldwide and operating 19 manufacturing facilities and 43 design centers across multiple countries.

Strategic Acquisitions and Market Expansion

The early success of ON Semiconductor was evident within its first year, with sales figures surpassing those of established competitors. This set the stage for a series of strategic acquisitions that expanded the company's product portfolio and market presence. Notable acquisitions include Cherry Semiconductor, which provided a foothold in power management for automotive and computing applications, and Fairchild, which bolstered the company's signal conditioning and discrete components offerings, particularly in the automotive sector.

Transition to a Fab-Liter Model for Enhanced Agility

In 2020, Hassane El-Khoury assumed the role of President and CEO, steering the company towards a transformative shift from a traditional IDM (Integrated Device Manufacturer) model to a more flexible Fab-Liter model. This transition, initiated in August 2021, streamlined manufacturing operations, focusing on differentiated technologies and strategic growth areas while divesting smaller wafer fabs to optimize production capacity.

Intelligent Sensing and Power Solutions

ON Semiconductor's strategic focus is on Intelligent Sensing and Power Solutions. The company's imaging sensors hold a leading position in the global automotive and industrial markets, with a significant market share in both sectors. The company's strength in intelligent sensing is attributed to its cutting-edge technology, which caters to diverse user scenarios and offers highly specific solutions, backed by decades of innovation.

In the power solutions domain, ON Semiconductor is recognized as a global leader, particularly in SiC and silicon power technologies. The company's "All in SiC" strategy reflects its commitment to expanding silicon carbide capacity, with a significant portion of its capital expenditure dedicated to this expansion, ensuring a robust supply capability.

Future Outlook

Looking ahead, ON Semiconductor is committed to driving technological innovation and exploring emerging markets such as industrial, automotive, and IoT. The company's journey from a division of Motorola to a global semiconductor leader is a testament to its continuous pursuit of innovation and strategic market expansion. With a clear vision and a focus on delivering high-performance, reliable semiconductor solutions, ON Semiconductor is poised to shape the tech landscape for years to come.

Conclusion

The story of ON Semiconductor is one of strategic growth, innovation, and a relentless drive to lead in the semiconductor industry. As the company continues to push the boundaries of technology and expand its market presence, its future looks as bright and promising as its impressive past. With a solid foundation and a clear direction, ON Semiconductor is well-positioned to meet the evolving needs of its customers and the industry at large.
