Tower Semiconductor Ltd. is an Israeli company that manufactures integrated circuits using specialty process technologies, including SiGe, BiCMOS, Silicon Photonics, SOI,[2] mixed-signal and RFCMOS, CMOS image sensors,[3][4] non-imaging sensors, power management (BCD), and non-volatile memory (NVM) as well as MEMS capabilities.

[citation needed] In June 2011, TowerJazz acquired Micron Technology's fabrication facility in Nishiwaki City, Hyogo, Japan.

The acquisition nearly doubled TowerJazz's 2010 internal manufacturing capacity and cost-effectively increased production by 60,000 wafers per month.

TowerJazz announced cessation of its Nishiwaki facility operations in the course of rationalizing and restructuring its manufacturing and business activities in Japan.

Since that time, Fab 1 has been significantly modernized and offers process geometries ranging from 1.0-micron to 0.35-micron including CMOS image sensors, embedded flash and mixed-signal technologies.

Fab 3, located in Newport Beach, California, United States was acquired by Tower when it merged with Jazz Technologies in 2008.

At Fab 3, Jazz established SiGe, BiCMOS and MEMS technologies and expanded upon its heritage for on-shore, specialized foundry services focused on the Aerospace and Defense industry.

[citation needed] Fab 9, located in San Antonio, Texas, United States was acquired by Tower in 2016 from Maxim Integrated.
