New Delhi, Mar 18 (UNI) Taiwan-based UMC, a leading global semiconductor foundry, has announced plans to open a customer support office in Hyderabad Technology Park to provide design support services for its customers who operate design centers in the area.

The India office, expected to open in second quarter of this fiscal, will employ locally-hired engineers.

UMC's new office will offer customers operating in India easy access to comprehensive design support resources to help streamline their design process.

''Over the last ten years, international IDMs and fabless design companies have established many design centers in India. Due to the cooperative nature of the foundry business, it is important for us to be close to our customers in order to provide immediate support during the important design-in phase,'' UMC India Design Support Center Vice President (engineering) Yeshwant Mehta said.

India also represents a strategic geographic location for a new office due to its potential for becoming the next major market for the consumption of IC products, Mr Mehta said.

The India office enhances UMC's global customer design support network, which also includes offices in Japan, Taiwan, and Sunnyvale, California.
