Tower Semiconductor

Tower Semiconductor is an Israeli specialty foundry founded in 1993 in Migdal Haemek, built on a wafer fabrication facility acquired from National Semiconductor. The company focuses on analog, RF, power and mixed-signal process technologies that general-purpose digital foundries typically underserve, and expanded through the 2008 acquisition of Jazz Semiconductor.

Tower manufactures wafers on technology platforms including RF and high-power amplifier processes, power management, CMOS image sensors, non-volatile memory and silicon photonics, operating fabs in Israel, the United States, Japan and a shared line in Italy. It serves more than 300 customers worldwide across mobile, automotive, industrial, medical, and aerospace and defense markets, including 2026 silicon photonics contracts tied to AI infrastructure.
