Company Overview<\/h2>\n

AMI was founded in 1966 in Santa Clara, CA.\u00a0 Established its manufacturing facility in Pocatello, Idaho, in 1970. Very successful in the early 70’s when it had 50% share of the MOSFET IC market. Established manufacturing facilities in the Philippines in 1980. Bought by Gould in 1982. Gould was bought by Japan Energy Corporation in 1988. In 2000, AMI was bought Francisco Partners and CVC and renamed AMI Semiconductor. AMI should not be confused with American Megatrends, Inc. makers of AMI BIOS.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
