sustainability. Amkor was recognized for its significant contributions
in providing Intel with wafer probe, wafer bump, assembly, and final

and manufacturing initiatives that Intel requires. This prestigious
award reflects our dedication to world-class customer support and our
ability to meet Intel’s high standards.”
“Congratulations to Amkor for winning the 2014 Preferred Quality
Supplier Award! Amkor has been a key partner to Intel by providing
Intel’s packaging assembly and testing solutions. Intel recognizes
Amkor’s commitments on providing leading technology with excellent
quality while maintaining great support on availability, cost and
sustainability. We are looking forward to strengthening the partnership
with Amkor in the area of new packaging technology in 2015,” said Armin
Sarstedt, Vice President of Technology and Manufacturing Group and
Director of Intel’s Silicon Foundry and OSAT Management.
The PQS award is part of Intel’s Supplier Continuous Quality Improvement
(SCQI) program that encourages suppliers to strive for excellence and
continuous improvement. To qualify for PQS status, suppliers must score
80 percent on a report card that assesses performance and ability to
meet cost, quality, availability, technology, environmental, social and
governance goals. Suppliers must also achieve 80 percent or greater on a
challenging improvement plan and demonstrate solid quality and business
systems. Additional information about the SCQI program is available at http://intel.com/go/quality.
A celebration to honor PQS award winners was held in Santa Clara,
California themed “Innovating to Deliver Smart and Connected Devices,”
which illustrates the contributions this supplier has made in 2014. In
